Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1906, A. Aubrey Bodine began photographing in the early 1920s and continued a long and prolific career until his death in 1970. In 1927, at the early age of 21, Bodine became the feature photographer for the Baltimore Sunday Sun. For over forty years, Bodine’s photographs were published every week in the Sunday magazine. His popularity in the Mid-Atlantic States was unprecedented. Bodine was devoted to a style of photography often referred to as “pictorialism,” which had it roots in the late 19th and early 20th century. Pictorial photographers sought to separate themselves from the scientific applications of photography and wanted to be considered “artists.” To that end, Bodine’s approach to photography was a painterly style, which often stressed soft-focus imagery as well as expressive printing.
