A. Aubrey Bodine (1906-1970) was a renowned 20th-century pictorialist photographer celebrated for his artistic and documentary work, particularly in Maryland. Beginning his career in 1923 with the Baltimore Sunday Sun, Bodine captured a wide range of subjects with exceptional quality, often elevating newspaper photography to fine art through his mastery of design, lighting, and innovative darkroom techniques. He treated photography as a creative discipline, manipulating negatives and prints to achieve his artistic vision, emphasizing the final image over the method of creation.
Bodine’s extensive body of work, spanning 47 years and over 6,000 photographs, is available for viewing and purchase on his dedicated website. His legacy is preserved through exhibitions, awards, and a detailed biography by his editor and friend Harold A. Williams.
