Elise Forrest Harleston
Elise Forrest Harleston (February 4, 1891-1970) was the first female African American photographer in South Carolina.〔Teal, Harvey S. Partners With the Sun: South Carolina Photographers, 1840-1940 (Columbia, S.C. University of South Carolina Press, 2001)〕 She operated a photography studio at 118 Calhoun Street in Charleston with her genre painter husband Edwin Harleston from 1922-1932.〔Wills, Deborah. Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographers, 1840 to the Present (New York, W.W. Norton & Co. 2000)〕 At the insistence of her then fiance Edwin Harleston, Elise Forrest left her home in South Carolina and traveled to New York City to enroll in the E. Brunel School of Photography in 1919. She was the only female of color attending the school and learned many photographic techniques from her German teachers; however, after her graduation she continued her studies at the Tuskegee Institute. In Alabama, she worked under C.M. Batty.〔Moutoussamy-Ashe, Jeanne. Viewfinders: Black Women Photographers (New York: Dodd Mead & Co. 1986)〕 Under his tutelage, Elise became a part of the artistic community that challenged racist stereotypes of African Americans and her works reflected the image of the "New Negro". She had married Edwin in 1920 and remained a devoted wife to her artist husband often taking the photographs of the subjects he intended to paint. While his paintings went on to garner critical acclaim, the contributions of his wife were rarely mentioned.〔Rosenblum, Naomi. A History of Women Photographers (New York: Abbeville Press, 1994)〕
After kissing the lips of his deathly ill father, Edwin Harleston died of pneumonia in 1931. Elise closed up her studio and remarried a schoolteacher, John J. Wheeler, within the year. She moved to Baltimore, Chicago and then Southern California, where she remained until her death. According to her great-niece, Mae Whitlock Gentry, she never spoke of her relationship with Edwin or her work as a photographer. After her death of a brain aneurysm in 1970, her family found Edwin's letters and a cache of almost two dozen glass plate negatives that she had saved.〔 (Whitlock Gentry, Mae. "FAX COVER PAGE."
