Big Camera Show

University of Iowa
03.17.25 – 04.05.25
Opening Reception: March 17th

Big Camera Show presents the work of current students and recent alumni of various BFA and MFA programs working with view camera technologies. For the non-photo nerd, picture an older box camera where the photographer has a dark cloth over their head to focus an upside down and backward image onto a pane of ground glass. Each photograph is made on an individual sheet of large film - for example, the formats most commonly used are 4 by 5 inches and 8 by 10 inches. While they may seem old-school, these big cameras render images with the highest possible visual quality, offering more control of perspective and focus than any other contemporary camera.

Kannetha Brown was nominated for the show by Matthew Connors (Massachusetts College of Art).
