Stephen Shames. a Lifetime in Photography

Stephen Shames

The life's work of one of the most important photojournalists of our time, covering major events in American history from the 1960s to present

Stephen Shames is an American photojournalist for more than five decades. In his award-winning photo essays, he draws attention to social issues such as child poverty and racism. During his career Shames authored numerous books, among others Power to the People: The World of the Black Panthers and Outside the Dream: Child Poverty in America. Kehrer Verlag is now publishing a comprehensive book containing many unpublished photos. Although Shames photographed many diverse subjects including presidents from Kennedy to Obama, activists and visionaries like martin Luther King or Stephen Hawkin, and people from countless cultures, there is a thread connecting his pictures: Shames' photos of children and families focus on what tears us apart and binds us together: violence and abuse, but also love, hope, and transcendence. The images come from his heart and soul.
