This dissertation offers a comprehensive account of the work of American photographer, Frederick Sommer (1905-1999). Looking closely at the works produced between 1939-1962, I argue that a defining quality of Sommer's work is its commitment to effects of density, opacity, and complexity. My claim is that Sommer's approach to density provides not only a new model of photographic expression but a new form of engagement and viewership, challenging and reanimating the normative terms of straight photography. Putting Sommer in dialogue with canonical modernist photographers Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and Minor White, I aim to elucidate the competing paradigms of modern photography at mid-century. Through the detailed analysis of key photographic works, archival materials, and interviews with living artists, I aim to present a new approach to the study of mid-century photography, one that will have ramifications for the understanding of photographic history in the crucial period of the transition from modern to postmodern practices.
