Think “selfies” are something relatively new?
These photos were taken in 1920 in New York City. Five photographers posed together on the roof of Marceau's Studio, while Joseph Byron held one side of the camera with his right hand and Ben Falk held the other side with his left hand.
The photographers wrote that occupational self-portraits “proclaim a new profession independent from tradition. Images of photographers taken by photographers illustrate a developing self-awareness, an inventiveness and an introspection at once calculating and as casual as the experience of noticing one’s reflection in a shop window."
The image features Uncle Joe Byron, Pirie MacDonald, Colonel Marceau, Pop Core and Ben Falk long before the era of social media.
