Camera Work

Cover of Camera Work, No 2, 1903. Cover design by Edward Steichen.

Camera Work was a quarterly photographic journal published by Alfred Stieglitz from 1903 to 1917. It presented high-quality photogravures by some of the most important photographers in the world. The goal of the journal was to establish photography as a fine art. It was called "consummately intellectual",[1] as well as, "by far the most beautiful of all photographic magazines" [2] and, "a portrait of an age [in which] the artistic sensibility of the nineteenth century was transformed into the artistic awareness of the present day."[3]
