Notes:
Harry Morey Callahan was an influential American photographer and educator widely known for his experimental approach to black-and-white and colour photography. Born in Detroit, Callahan initially studied engineering at Michigan State University before working for Chrysler. In 1938, he began to pursue photography as a hobby, and after a pivotal meeting with Ansel Adams in 1941, he began to take the medium seriously. A self-taught photographer, Callahan worked in the General Motors Photographic Laboratories and later became a leading figure at the Institute of Design in Chicago. He taught there from 1946 until 1961 before heading the photography department at the Rhode Island School of Design until 1973.
