This book treats photography of the Middle East as a phenomenon of contact and travel, and like its subject matter, Camera Orientalis is the product of many welcome opportunities to connect with and learn from brilliant scholars and rich photographic archives. Above all, this book would have been impossible to write had I not had the privilege of immersing myself in the rich photographic archives of the Getty Research Institute (GRI) alongside the extraordinary group of international scholars assembled during my year of residency. While the generous institutional support of the GRI allowed me to delve deeply into its extensive archival holdings of Orientalist and Middle Eastern photography, my cohort of research fellows has offered insightful interlocutions at every step along the way, always pushing me to press beyond my own critical orthodoxies. I am especially grateful to the participants in the Orientalist photography workshop at the GRI: Esra Akcan, Susan Babaie, Hannah Feldman, Talinn Griogor, Rob Linrothe, Nancy Micklewright, Nabila Oulebsir, Mary Roberts, and Frances Terpak, who all attended our meetings, selected photographs for our viewing, and shared thoughtful observations. Comments offered by participants in the conference on Orientalist photography held a year later at the GRI, particularly those by Christopher Pinney, Luke Gartlan, Darcy Grimaldo Grisby, and John Tagg, helped me further nuance my discussion of Orientalist photography.
