Growing up in Ufa, the capital of the republic of Bashkortostan, Russia, Gulnara Samoilova fell in love with photography at the age of 15, and quickly discovered it was a means to escape the extremely patriarchal society in which she had been raised. She arrived in the United States in 1992, where she worked at the Associated Press, going on to win first prize in the World Press Photo competition for a photograph she made on September 11.
The trauma of that day affected Samilova for years. She left photojournalism, opening a commercial wedding studio, which she eventually closed when she realized that making money was simply not enough for her soul. By 2015, she reached a crossroads, knowing she had to return to make art, but she wasn’t sure how she would proceed
Both titles offer comprehensive and refreshing additions to the tradition of street photography. In
Perfect Strangers, O’Shaughnessy enters the territory with clarity and a distinctly humanist eye. Through her curious and quirky vision, we witness the play of human activity on the glittering sidewalks of New York. Meanwhile, Samoilova’s new book showcases one hundred contemporary women street photographers working around the world today, their photographs accompanied by personal statements about their work. In turns intimate and candid, the photographs featured in
Women Street Photographers offer a kaleidoscopic glimpse into what happens when women across the world are the ones behind the camera.
