Close Relations

Posted on

In Close Relations, noted photographer Henry Horenstein presents his earliest images, made when he was a student at the Rhose Island School of Design. Mixed with humor and history, this collection of family and friends, landscapes, and period imagery, describes a time familiar to everyone, when one moves from adolescence to adulthood – – remaining part of a family while beginning to create a world of one’s own.

As a history student in the late 1960s, Horenstein learned the importance of preserving the present to create a record for the future. As he took up photography, he carried these lessons with him. In Close Relations he offers us a warm and quirky look at his personal history, and at a particular place and time.

Honky Tonk: Portraits of Country Music

Posted on

Forty years after he began documenting the country-music scene in and around Nashville, Henry Horenstein’s deep love for the music and its people continues. Having spent a lifetime around performers and fans, he has been granted access to the high-glamour backstage at the Grand Ole Opry in its heyday, as well as the rough-and-tumble dive bars and family-friendly festivals. Spanning from 1972 to 2011, Horenstein’s photographs capture the irrepressible spirit of an American institution as it has evolved over the years.
