In the 1970's, Neal Slavin captured a potpourri of various and sundry American groups of people: hobby groups, hot dog vendors, religious groups, social clubs, meetings, professional unions, and others.
Neal Slavin (born 1941) is an American photographer and television/film director. He is the author of Portugal (1971), When Two or More are Gathered Together (1976) and Britons (1986). He directed and produced the film Focus (2001).
Slavin was born in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from the Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture in New York, where he obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He was awarded an exchange student scholarship at Lincoln College, Oxford in the UK.
Britons is a series of photographs of people from Britain, commissioned by the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in the UK. It was published as a book in 1986 and exhibited at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York and at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television that same year.
His photography has been seen in publications and magazines, including The Sunday Times magazine, Stern, Town & Country, Esquire, The New York Times magazine, Life, House & Garden, and Geo Magazine. His photographs can be found in the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, USA. His work encompasses a professional career of over 40 years, during which he has photographed a myriad of subjects including such celebrities as Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Barbra Streisand, and Phil Collins. He is most known for his group portraits, which have been a significant focus throughout his career. He recently created a group portrait for T Magazine of film celebrities that have their roots in NYC, which includes Willem Dafoe, Glenn Close, LaTanya Richardson, Ed Harris, and Loretta Devine, among others. Slavin has received a number of grants and awards. He was one of the first Fulbright Fellows in Photography. He received US National Endowment for the Arts grants and a number of awards from Communication Arts Magazine. In 1986, he was named as the Corporate Photographer of the Year by the American Society of Magazine Photographers. He was also awarded the 1988 Augustus Saint-Gaudens Medal and the 2005 President's Citation by his alma mater, the Cooper Union. He is among the first generation of photographers, along with William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, Richard Misrach and Joel Meyerowitz to master color. Since 1988, Slavin has undertaken film-making and commercials for television. In 1994, he ceased his commercial work to devote all his time to developing, directing and producing a film entitled Focus, based on Arthur Miller’s only novel, about prejudice and race in America in the early 1940s. It deals with the ravages of anti-semitism and stars William H. Macy and Laura Dern and features Meatloaf and David Paymer.
His photographs are both privately and publicly collected. They are in numerous collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the International Center of Photography in New York, the National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of American Art in Washington, DC, the National Science and Media Museum in England, and the John Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. He is listed in various reference works including Who's Who in American Art, The Photographers Guide, published by the New York Graphic Society, and Men of Achievement, published by the International Biographical Center in Cambridge, UK.
Slavin has shown in both individual and group venues throughout the world and is represented by the Laurence Miller Gallery in New York. In 1971, his Portugal work has been the subject of a large exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. This collection was simultaneously exhibited in New York City at the Underground Gallery. His work has been featured in the solo exhibition Britons at New York’s International Center of Photography and England’s National Science and Media Museum. He has also been honored with a retrospective exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and has been shown at the famous Les Rencontres D’Arles in France and at the Foto/Industria Biennale in Bologna in 2015. He has been in recent group shows at the Cincinnati Museum of Art, The Princeton Art Museum, the de Cordova Museum and the Arthur Ross Gallery at the University of Pennsylvania. His most recent solo show in 2022 was at the Galleria WOW in Porto, Portugal.
In 2018, Slavin was twice featured in Photo Festivals in China: The Pingyao International Photo Festival, where he was the guest of honor, and the first Hefei Photo Festival at the Yami Art Museum.
He has taught classes and workshops at Les Rencontres d’Arles in Provence, The Cooper Union, Manhattanville College, The School of Visual Arts, The City University of New York at Queens College, the Art Institute of Chicago and at the Ansel Adams Workshop in Yosemite National Park.

Neal Slavin
Neal Slavin, a native New Yorker, began photographing groups in 1972. He quickly realized that shooting in color yielded greater nuance and detail, placing him among the first generation of photographers, along with William Eggleston and Joel Meyerowitz, to fully embrace color photography.
Over the past four decades, Slavin has recorded hundreds of groups from the most obscure to the most celebrated, both in the United States and abroad: Sabrett Hot Dog vendors, NYC; the Silurian Border Morris Men, Herefordshire; the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Salt Lake City; Elephant Keepers with Katie and Kumara, Bedfordshire; and the Mahayana Buddhist Service, NYC.
He has published three books: Portugal (Lustrum Press, 1971), When Two or More Are Gathered Together (Farrar Straus Giroux, 1974); and Britons (Aperture, 1986). His prints have been acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the International Center of Photography (ICP), New York; the National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C.; the National Media Museum, London; and the John Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, among many others.
