Eliot Elisofon was an American photographer and filmmaker whose work documented African and Middle Eastern cultures, landscapes, and political upheaval from the 1930s through the early 1970s. He worked extensively in color photography when the medium remained marginal to fine art practice, producing vivid editorial and documentary work for major publications. His archive comprises thousands of photographs, films, and color slides that serve as a visual record of decolonization and cultural change in the postwar period.
