      Explore tintype portraits of American surfers.

      Utilizing 19th-century tintype photographic techniques, artist Joni Sternbach captures portraits and seascapes along America's coastal regions. For her premiere solo museum exhibition, Sternbach presents a recent body of work focused on tintype portraits of surfers. These images mine the tradition of anthropological photography to explore the enduring culture of surfing within Sternbach's own country. SurfLand: Photographs by Joni Sternbach is the debut exhibition for the Peabody Essex Museum's Curator of Photography Phillip Prodger.
