Photographers
capture reality in ways that reflect their individuality,
both personal and artistic, as they explore the world through
the eye of the camera. The following is a sample of the work
of seven Reed alumni photographers (out of many) in various
stages of their careers who have achieved success in photography
in their own ways.

Steve Kahn 66
Steve Kahn has forged a successful career as both
a fine art and assignment photographer. His photographs, which have been
exhibited worldwide since 1973, are in the collections of museums including
those in San Francisco, Houston, and Los Angeles, as well as two in France
and several others in the U.S. His interests have led him to produce photo
essays on subjects as rich and diverse as Spanish Gypsy flamenco musicians
and dancers, people and places in India, chemical plants, and death row
inmates in San Quentin. His photographs of his neighborhood were published
by Rizzoli in 1999 in SoHo New York.
