For several years Nancy Burson has photographed children with craniofacial disorders. She uses a plastic Diana camera, which imparts an “ethereal and almost spiritual quality” to her subjects. These camera-shy children and the artist have begun to see themselves and each other differently through this ongoing photographic experience, and in the process have perhaps understood better than most of us what beauty must be in order that our dreams and dignity may survive. 45 b&w gravure plates, 72 pages.
For several years, photographer Nancy Burson has documented children with craniofacial disorders. Using a plastic Diana camera to achieve an ethereal and almost spiritual quality, she captures these often camera-shy subjects in intimate portraits. The work explores the intersection of physical appearance and identity, allowing both the artist and her subjects to see themselves and each other differently through the lens. This volume serves as a significant record of Burson's ongoing photographic exploration into the human face.
