This Friday —that is, tomorrow— the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum will honor its 2023 class of Photography Hall of Fame Inductees and Awardees in a virtual ceremony at 6p.m. CST. An annual occurrence since the IPHF first opened its doors fifty-eight years ago, these awards are given to photographers and industry visionaries for their artistry, innovation, and contributions to photography both as an art and as a science.
Significant innovators in their respective fields —according to not only to the IPHF (and common sense) — are none other than Nan Goldin, Vivian Maier, and Bea Nettles, in addition to Matika Wilbur, honored with the IPHF Visionary Awards as women photographers.
