As a new zine of Steven Cuffie’s photos is published, his son Marcus talks about the quiet radicalism of photographing Black women as they are
Marcus recognises how their particular perspective influences how they edit their father’s work. “I might not be choosing images my dad would have based on his relationship with the woman,” they add. “There’s often more erotic or sexual imagery, which I sometimes pull away from. I try to make something that feels like you can feel my dad behind the camera, but I try to give a lot of presence to the woman.
” Karen, thrillingly, feels like a confrontation of desires and impulses; it’s clearly a portrait of her, but is unequivocally one of Steven as well. The energy of their exchange pulses in every frame. Marcus notes how, in the 70s, most photographers who worked with Black women to create intimate or erotic images often depicted them according to a Black power or Blacksploitation sensibility.
