#072 - Rebecca Senf: The Art of Photography – From Ansel Adams to the Overuse of Nudes
What makes a photograph truly timeless? How do curators decide which images define an era? In this episode, Rebecca Senf, Chief Curator at the Center for Creative Photography (CCP), takes us behind the scenes of photography curation. We dive into the legacy of Ansel Adams, the ongoing debate over photography as fine art, and how museums shape what the world remembers. Becky also unpacks the complex relationship between photographers and their subjects, the uniqueness (or not) of photographic prints, and why certain artistic trends—like the overuse of nudes—persist in the industry.
Whether you're a photographer, an art enthusiast, or just curious about the hidden world of museum curation, this episode offers a rare inside look at how photography is preserved, studied, and redefined for future generations.
