Description

In the history of photography Nixon’s ongoing series of family portraits there are beautifully structured and composed photographs, nuanced and sensitive to the people portrayed and the passage of time. The subjects project and recede within the image frame, exposing vulnerability, intimacy and strength. In these never-before-published portraits of members of his family, Nixon uses the large-format camera and contact print methods favored by Edward Weston and Walker Evans.
