During his long career Charles Wagley took hundreds of research photographs, but to date very few of these images have been published. In 2011 the University of Florida posted on-line hundreds of his images of the Tapirapé, Tenetehara, and Gurupá. In 2012 Isabel Wagley Kottak - daughter of Charles Wagley - provided me with dozens more images that he took. In this paper I analyze these images commenting on the particulars of their production within the historical and theoretical context of the era, as well as the photographic conventions that Wagley used in the representations of the other. The conventions include a humanistic gaze, a classificatory gaze, an exotic gaze, and a male gaze.
