Focusing on fine art and documentary photography, this book provides a diverse and inclusive version of photography history and its contemporary manifestations. Through 40 interviews with and profiles of photographers from underrepresented communities—those of African, Asian, Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander and Aleutian heritage, and other indigenous communities—this collection turns on its head homogenous visual culture. Essential reading for photography students and practitioners, this book celebrates the diversity of the real world with fascinating accounts of artists and the broad range of their challenges and successes: aspirations, photo series and photobooks, earning a living, discrimination, photography education, photographic practice, technical conversations, and more.

Qiana Mestrich is a photo-based visual artist, writer and mother from Brooklyn, NY. Mestrich’s work seeks to create and record new narratives, giving visibility to convoluted histories marked by emigration, cultural mixing (formerly "miscegenation") and the New American experience. Mestrich has worked for over thirteen years as a digital media professional in content management and online marketing (SEO and social media) for large corporations. In 2007, a desire to reconnect with photography led her to start the blog Dodge & Burn: Diversity in Photography History . With interviews and profiles of photographers of color, the blog aims to provide a more inclusive version of photography history, featuring contributions to the medium by underrepresented cultures. The blog is integral to her fine art photographic practice.
