EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Self portrait with camera, tripod and pistol" captures the essence of early photography in 1886. Taken by the talented Alfred Stieglitz, this self-portrait showcases his mastery behind both the lens and the trigger. In this image, a young man sporting a stylish bowler hat confidently holds a pistol in one hand while balancing a camera on a sturdy tripod with the other. The juxtaposition of these two objects speaks to Stieglitz's passion for capturing moments through photography as well as his desire to protect himself from any potential harm. Stieglitz's intense gaze into the camera lens adds an intriguing layer to this self-portrait. It reflects his dedication and determination as he explores new artistic possibilities through early photography techniques. The moustache that adorns his face further enhances his enigmatic persona. The outdoor setting adds depth to this composition, hinting at Stieglitz's adventurous spirit and willingness to venture beyond traditional studio confines. This photograph not only serves as a testament to Stieglitz's technical skills but also encapsulates the pioneering spirit of early photographers who pushed boundaries in their pursuit of artistry. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago, this lantern slide print is truly an invaluable piece that offers viewers an intimate glimpse into Stieglitz's world during a transformative era in photography history.
