“Although this image was made in 1982, I still remember the moment it was taken. Our local Marriott Hotel hosted Friday night dances for senior citizens. I brought my view camera to the event, set it up, and waited. This couple floated in front of me, caught in the summer light, and I released the shutter. A true gift from the photo gods.”

Mary Frey is a photographer who lives and works in western Massachusetts. She earned her MFA from the Yale University School of Art in 1979 and subsequently taught photography at the Hartford Art School, retiring from the undergraduate program in spring 2015.
Frey has received numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1984 and two photography fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (1980 and 1992). She was also the recipient of a Te Foundation Fellowship in 2004 and an artist’s grant from the John Anson Kittredge Fund in 2010.
Her work has been widely exhibited and is held in major public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Art Institute of Chicago; and the International Polaroid Collection. Much of Frey’s work explores the nature of the documentary image in contemporary culture; more recently, she has worked with 19th-century photographic processes to produce ambrotypes and lithophanes.
A book of her early images, Reading Raymond Carver, was published by Peperoni Books in 2017 and was shortlisted for the Paris Photo–Aperture Foundation First PhotoBook Award that same year.
