About LRA Photography

LRA Photography is a new project of the Labor Research Association dedicated to photographing the lives and labor of working people. Through this work, LRA Photography is seeking to create a diverse visual record of working people during a time of rapid economic and global change.

All photographs on LRA Photography were taken by Sam Hollenshead. Sam Hollenshead graduated from the University of Michigan where he studied anthropology. His work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine and his project about the rebuilding of the 1/9 subway line will be on display at the Museum of the City of New York in 2004.

Anyone interested in reproducing or using images from the LRA Photography web site, or anyone who would like to suggest a subject to be photographed, should contact Sam Hollenshead at:
