Check out these two young Los Angeles-based black women photographers.

Glynnis Reed

I have been working in photography and photo based media for over ten years and with digital imaging for about eight years. In my work I explore issues of identity and place and I am interested in the ways social environments shape our notions of the self. I have photographed and been inspired by the imagery of cities for some time. I investigate urban landscapes as sites for revealing complexities in social interactions and relationships. I also explore dynamics of intimate relationships, investigating how gender, race, sexuality, and power figure into people’s experiences
within the physical and social geography of the city.

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.

      Danielle was briefly a contributor to this site; I am very excited to hear about her latest venture, the collective and now journal Mambu Badu “that seek to find, expose, and nurture emerging female photographers of African descent.”  Congrats, Danielle! As you may (or may not) know, last fall, I co-founded Mambu Badu, a photography collective […]
