Photo Galleries

The Photo League was organized into collaborative documentary production groups. Prom was a member of the Feature Group led by Aaron Siskind. His photos in the Harlem Document, Dead End: the Bowery and Park Avenue North and South sections below were shot in projects of the Feature Group. The Coney Island photos were from a project Prom pursued on his own.

Prom never titled his images. Descriptive titles have been added to the photos for identification purposes.
