The Big Picture: A History of Photography in Greater Cincinnati
Voyageur is currently producing a major, collaborative documentary project entitled The Big Picture: A History of Photography in Greater Cincinnati. This three-hour documentary series examines the role of photography in the development of Greater Cincinnati from 1839 to 1939. The Big Picture explores how photography grew from a scientific innovation into a vital visual medium that transformed our region socially, economically, politically and culturally. Voyageur is conducting research, meeting with scholars, and developing script treatments and production plans as part of the project’s planning phase from January to July 2023. The Big Picture is made possible with support from The Tommy and Sarah Anness Evans Family Fund, Martha Garrison Anness Memorial Fund, Carl Stich and Amy Banister, and Ohio Humanities/National Endowment for the Humanities.

Voyageur Media Group, Inc. is holding a Photo History Forum to gather community insights for production of The Big Picture: A History of Photography in Greater Cincinnati. The Photo History Forum is from 6:00 to 7:00 pm on Wednesday, May 10 in the auditorium of the Walnut Hills Branch of the Cincinnati Public Library. The forum is free and open to anyone. Registration is not required. Voyageur’s production team will open the forum with a brief summary of The Big Picture. We’ll then invite those attending to share their information about photographic collections from 1839 to1939. Photo Identification: Voyageur will also have scholars and resource books at the event to help you identify the type and approximate date of your photographs, including daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, carte de visite, cabinet cards and photographic prints from the 19th and 20th centuries.
