Film Still from the Sultan Family Home Movies

Larry Sultan was an American photographer whose color work documented the texture of everyday domestic life and leisure in postwar California. Working primarily in large-format color photography from the 1970s onward, Sultan constructed carefully composed interiors and backyard scenes that transformed the mundane into psychologically charged tableaux. His practice emerged alongside a broader shift in American photography toward color as a fine art medium. Sultan's influence extended across generations of photographers exploring the domestic sphere and the construction of American identity through vernacular spaces.
