by Jeffrey A. Wolin (Photographer), Mariah R. Keller (Editor), Keith F. Davis (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

First comprehensive retrospective of the work of renowned American photo artist Jeffrey A. Wolin

Throughout his career, photographer Jeffrey A. Wolin has focused on the impact of poverty, war, and trauma on human experience, memory, and hope. His first job as a police photographer influenced his candid approach, as well as his deep respect for human resilience. Wolin combines his love of words with a passion for making photographs, writing the stories of each subject directly on their images. The resulting works fuse his own aesthetic ideas with the voice of the people he so intimately engages.This publication accompanying the upcoming retrospective at the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University will give a comprehensive presentation of Wolin's work, and is his third book with Kehrer.
