ABOUT THE JUROR:
Born in New Bedford, MA, Henry
Horenstein studied history at the University of Chicago, before
turning to photography. Horenstein earned his BFA and MFA
from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 1971 and
1973 respectively. Horenstein's over 30 books include mono-
graphs (Animals, Close Relations, Honky Tonk, Humans,
Creatures, Aquatics, Canine, and Racing Days) and some of the
most widely used instructional texts in the field (Black & White
Photography, Beyond Basic Photography, Photography, and Color
Photography). Photographs from his book Honky Tonk: Portraits
of Country Music 1972-1981 were exhibited at the Smithsonian
Museum of American History in 2006 and The Museum of
Rhode Island School of Design in 2007. His 2007/2008 solo
show at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, Looking
at Animals, is traveling internationally, as is Honky Tonk. His
current photographs, Show, on the worlds of burlesque,
fetish, drag, and sideshow, will be published this fall. A professor at RISD, Horenstein lives and works in Boston, MA.
