N.B. The self-taught photographer and filmmaker Danny Lyon is a pioneer of socially-conscious documentary photography. An activist and interpreter of contemporary life, since the 1960s he has focused on people at the fringes of society, immersing himself in the social contexts he photographs to better understand and provoke awareness of their circumstances. His earliest work was made in the early 1960s when he was the first staff photographer for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. Photographs from this project were published in 1964 in The Movement: Document of a Struggle for Equality, a book on the southern civil rights movement. In 1967 he began a series of photographs that documented the lives of convicts in the Texas penal system. The resulting project is compiled in the 1971 publication Conversations with the Dead.Condition
