Biographical Note

An American photographer and newspaperman, A. Aubrey Bodine was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1906. He lacked a formal education as he stopped schooling at the eighth grade; however, he studied General Design from 1932-1933 at what is now the Maryland Institute College of Art. Starting in 1920 Bodine worked for the Baltimore Sun, first as a messenger and later assisting photographers in the commercial art department, where he experienced photography and the darkroom for the first time. He began his formal photography career at the Sunday Sun in 1924 as a commercial photographer. In addition to his photojournalism, Bodine regularly exhibited his work nationally and internationally in salon competitions and museums. He was a pictorialist and manipulated his photographs in the dark room with dyes, intensifiers, pencils, and other tools. Bodine died in 1970 at the age of 64.
