Teaching Photography is the revised and updated version of the site formerly known as Teachingphoto.com, founded in 2004 by Henry Horenstein. The site’s new name reflects the fact that it’s under new management, as part of a consortium of interrelated websites, all committed to serving the needs of the photo-education community.
Teaching Photography addresses itself to teachers, students, program directors, sponsors, and all others committed to furthering post-secondary photography education worldwide. This site exists to serve as a collecting point for information, resources, bibliographic references, teaching materials, historical data, commentary, and other things relevant to the process of teaching photography at the college level. We have created it as a service to the field, and a tribute to those, past and present, who have committed their energies to this process.
We’ve retained the site’s original URL, teachingphoto.com, and kept most of the site’s previous content intact. But we’ve renovated the site’s layout and transformed its infrastructure, in order to enhance its functionality and expand its content substantially. If you subscribed to or visited the pilot version of the site, you’ll see that we’ve moved to the open-source blogware WordPress, which enables easier posting of new content from our end and easier commenting from your end as a reader.
