Artist Entry # 5

Dawoud Bey






Dawoud Bey started his photography career in 1975. He is an American photographer and has had exhibitions around the world. He is known for his large scale color portraits, and portraiture of teenage culture. “My interest in young people has to do with the fact that they are the arbiters of style in the community; their appearance speaks most strongly of how a community of people defines themselves at a particular historical moment.”
