Nicole White uses historical and contemporary photographic processes to examine the medium’s varied functionality while studying the cultural landscape around her. She holds a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art, an MA in Art History from the University of Connecticut, and an MFA in Studio from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2021, she published a book, Rolls & Tubes: A History of Photography, in collaboration with Christy McDonald, Colleen Mullins, and Jenny Sampson.

My 2023 self-published textbook, A Basic Guide to Photography, is available as a free PDF to anyone needing a resource for their photography classes. It provides a general technical overview of the universal characteristics of photography for digital and analog practices. The guide is meant to be an equitable resource that meets students where they are at. Photography is for everyone.
