Check out my retrospective “Stephen Shames: A Lifetime in Photography”. Published by @kehrerverlag, the book will be available in the US in April 2025.

Order via link in bio ⬆️ ‘Stephen Shames: A lifetime in Photography’ is 228 pages and contains 136 photographs—selections from my books and projects plus many unpublished photos. Book measures 9 1/2” x 12 1/2“. Texts by Jeffrey Henson Scales @jeffreyhensonscales and Stephen Shames Design direction by Caleb Cain Marcus @calebcainmarcus, Luminosity Lab @luminositylabdesign Book Documentation by The Book Photographer @the_bookphotographer Published by Kehrer Verlag @kehrerverlag #StephenShamesRetrospective #ALifetimeinPhotography #StephenShames #BlackPantherParty #ChildPoverty 04 Feb 2025 My journey as a photographer started during the 1960s when I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley. I became an artist of the struggle. I got to know the leaders of the anti-Vietnam War and the Black Power movements, including Bobby Seale (second slide), cofounder of the Black Panthers, who became a mentor. Seale and the Panthers taught me how to see a community that was not my own from the inside. I photographed the Black Panther Party from 1967 to 1973, and published three books, including ‘Comrade Sisters: Women of the Black Panther Party’. These earlier photographs would lay the foundation of my life’s work. My new retrospective book ‘Stephen Shames: A Lifetime in Photography’ (published by @kehrerverlag) is not a linear documentary, nor is it organized in a chronological manner. Instead, it is a visual journey, an invitation to experience the images in a dynamic flow, to engage deeper with the themes and emotions. In the foreword Jeffrey Henson Scales describes it as “more a collage of Shames’s life as photographer, a mashup of his life’s work.’ Please walk with me.
