Through Shaded Glass. Women and photography in Aotearoa New Zealand 1860–1960
Published by Te Papa Press, June 2023
Written by Lissa Mitchell, Curator Historical Photography at Te Papa, Through Shaded Glass takes the reader on a journey through the backrooms of nineteenth and early twentieth-century photographic studios, into private homes, out onto the street and up into the mountains, and looks at the range of photographic practices in which women were involved. Through superb images and fascinating individual stories, it brings an important group of photographers into the light.
Currently featured in the 2022 Auckland Festival of Photography online programme.
