Bill Brett

“I love what I do and I love this city. I feel that I have a front row seat in history – even as I preserve that history for Boston through my photos.” —Bill Brett

An award-winning photojournalist, Bill Brett is well known for his career at The Boston Globe, where on June 1, 2014, he marked his 50th anniversary with the newspaper. “Boston, Irish” is Bill’s fifth book; all of his titles feature the city and its people. Bill’s work can be seen regularly on the print pages and online platforms of The Globe as well as online at www.BillBrett.com and through active social media platforms.

Bill started his news career hawking The Boston Globe on the street corners of his native Dorchester, Massachusetts. He first worked at The Globe as an 18-year-old part-time photographer, learning the art of photography and the business of news at the same time. In 1977, he was named chief photographer at The Globe. He was the photography-member of The Globe team nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism in 1978 and 1979. Under Bill’s leadership, staff photographer Stan Grossfeld won the only two Pulitzer Prizes ever awarded to The Globe photo staff. In 1999, Bill became Director of Photography, a position from which he retired in 2001.

His weekly “Party Lines” column continues in the print version of The Globe, together with his “The Seen” online. Also, since retirement from The Globe, Bill has published five books that include portraits of the heart and faces of Boston. His first book, “Boston, All One Family,” with a foreword by Robert B. Parker, received the 2006 President’s Award from the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts. He also won an Award of Excellence for Photography in the 27th annual creative competition of the Society for News Design, for his portrait of Stephan Ross at Boston’s Holocaust Memorial.

In his 50 years of chronicling the life and people of the city, Bill has photographed thousands of events and fundraisers, with his coverage helping to raise awareness for and bring donations to the many organizations whose events he has shot. In 2009, Bill received an honorary degree from the Franklin Institute of Technology, the school at which he took his only class in photography before becoming famous as the man who shoots the faces of Boston.

Adventure and exploration were the foundation of her photography. She spent more than a decade roaming Europe’s haunts, absorbing the palette of Mexico and the shifting sands of North Africa. Eventually she returned to the States, landing for a time in Reno, Nevada. Its rarified world of slot champions, cocktail waitresses, and divorce parties at motel casinos provided ample artistic inspiration. It was not long before Garza-Cuen set out for Providence, where she completed her MFA in Photography at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2012. The recipient of numerous grants and fellowships, Garza-Cuen’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.

Cig Harvey

Photographs and artist books by Cig Harvey (British, b. 1973) have been widely exhibited and reside in the permanent collections of major museums and collections worldwide. A native of Devon, England, Harvey sees her photographs as vignettes that depict daily life in all its complexities. In addition to self-portraits, Harvey makes pictures of family and close friends to better understand their relationships. Her photographs are an attempt to legitimize her moments of uncertainty and to visually celebrate times of elation, when we are reminded that the world, in all its complexities, can be mind-blowingly beautiful. She uses color, gesture and space to seduce the imagination.

Harvey was a recent finalist for the BMW Prize at Paris Photo and the Prix Virginia, an international photography prize for women. Her first solo museum show was held at the Stenersen Museum in Oslo, Norway, in the spring of 2012, coinciding with the release of her monograph, You Look At Me Like An Emergency (Schilt Publishing, 2012). With her vibrant photographs and startlingly honest writing, Harvey transforms quotidian experiences that reference time and place, creating totems that mark key places in her life.

Harvey lives in a farmhouse in the Midcoast of Maine with her husband Doug (who has the profile of an emperor on a Roman coin), their wayward daughter Scout, and Scarlet the dog (the original baby). She was an assistant professor at the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University for ten years, but recently took a leap of faith to devote her life to purely making things. She tries to do this every day, and then pretends to clean up the mess she’s made with varying degrees of success. Her work is in the collections of International Museum of Photography, George Eastman House, Rochester, NY; the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art, Hamilton, Bermuda; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; the Farnsworth Museum, Rockland, ME; Bowdoin College, Special Collections, Brunswick, ME; and University of Washington, Special Collections, Seattle, WA.

Bill Brett

“I love what I do and I love this city. I feel that I have a front row seat in history – even as I preserve that history for Boston through my photos.” —Bill Brett

An award-winning photojournalist, Bill Brett is well known for his career at The Boston Globe, where on June 1, 2014, he marked his 50th anniversary with the newspaper. “Boston, Irish” is Bill’s fifth book; all of his titles feature the city and its people. Bill’s work can be seen regularly on the print pages and online platforms of The Globe as well as online at www.BillBrett.com and through active social media platforms.

Bill started his news career hawking The Boston Globe on the street corners of his native Dorchester, Massachusetts. He first worked at The Globe as an 18-year-old part-time photographer, learning the art of photography and the business of news at the same time. In 1977, he was named chief photographer at The Globe. He was the photography-member of The Globe team nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism in 1978 and 1979. Under Bill’s leadership, staff photographer Stan Grossfeld won the only two Pulitzer Prizes ever awarded to The Globe photo staff. In 1999, Bill became Director of Photography, a position from which he retired in 2001.

His weekly “Party Lines” column continues in the print version of The Globe, together with his “The Seen” online. Also, since retirement from The Globe, Bill has published five books that include portraits of the heart and faces of Boston. His first book, “Boston, All One Family,” with a foreword by Robert B. Parker, received the 2006 President’s Award from the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts. He also won an Award of Excellence for Photography in the 27th annual creative competition of the Society for News Design, for his portrait of Stephan Ross at Boston’s Holocaust Memorial.

In his 50 years of chronicling the life and people of the city, Bill has photographed thousands of events and fundraisers, with his coverage helping to raise awareness for and bring donations to the many organizations whose events he has shot. In 2009, Bill received an honorary degree from the Franklin Institute of Technology, the school at which he took his only class in photography before becoming famous as the man who shoots the faces of Boston.

Bill lives in Hingham, Massachusetts, with his wife, Virginia. They have four children and four grandchildren–and a fifth on the way.
