Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An exhibition catalog celebrating a storied photographer’s career.Through Her Lens, the catalog of the retrospective exhibition, showcases iconic photos from Diana Walker’s extensive archive at the Briscoe Center for American History. Walker’s photography allows us to see through her lens and step behind the scenes with politicians, artists, celebrities, and business leaders. Her wide-ranging coverage of political campaigns sits alongside the public and private events of multiple presidential administrations. During Walker’s years in the White House press pool, she achieved extraordinary access and exclusives, and was often the only photographer in the room. With selections from five decades of her work, the exhibit also showcases Walker’s technical ability and social acumen in a career spent capturing some of the most notable faces in the news. “Diana Walker is one of the preeminent photojournalists of her generation,” says Don Carleton, founding executive director of the Briscoe Center. “She has visually documented the news-and the individuals who made that news-with talent, imagination, diligence, and grace. Her body of work provides us with a deeper understanding of the past events and notable people that she has skillfully photographed.”
