1988年至1991年间，达乌德·贝（Dawoud Bey）在美国多个城市的街头为非裔美国人拍摄了一系列肖像照。他使用一台装在三脚架上的大幅面相机，以及一种独特的正负宝丽来胶片，这种胶片既能即时冲印出照片，又能得到可重复使用的底片。他邀请这些社区不同阶层的人给他当模特，在城市街头营造出一个自我展示与表现的空间。每次拍摄时，贝都会送给每个人一张黑白宝丽来小照片，作为对允许他为自己拍照的人的一种回报。这些肖像照打破了种族刻板印象，展现出黑人主体丰富复杂的心理状态，他们坦然且亲切地向镜头、观众乃至全世界展示自己。  

From 1988 to 1991 Dawoud Bey made a series of portraits of African Americans in the streets of various American cities. Using a large format tripod mounted camera and a unique positive/negative Polaroid film that created both an instant print and a reusable negative, he asked a cross section of the populations of these communities to pose for him, creating a space of self presentation and performance in the streets of the urban environment. As part of every encounter, Bey gave each person a small black-and-white Polaroid print for themselves as a way of reciprocating and returning something to the people who had allowed him to make their portrait. Defying racial stereotypes, the resulting portraits reveal the Black subjects in all of their psychologically rich complexity, presenting themselves openly and intimately to the camera, the viewer, and the world.
