This article takes a distinctive approach by delving into the social history of Armenian commercial photographic engagement through a comparative lens and seeks to demonstrate that the nationality of these practitioners was not merely a descriptive label but, rather, shaped their photographic practice while also bringing with it considerable diversity. By examining the photographic practices of the Abdullah Frères studio in Constantinople and Yesayi Garabedian in Jerusalem, this article situates their engagement within the broader contexts of imperial and photographic histories and explores the converging and diverging aspects of their work. The article discusses the networks of which these practitioners were part, not only in terms of their generative capacities but also in terms of their exclusionary mechanisms. It also highlights the ways in which their allegiance to the Armenian nation intricately informed, rather than operated independently of, their photographic engagement.</p>","PeriodicalId":13024,"journal":{"name":"History of Photography","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12311995/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144775308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
