Photographing (Jo)Hannah
2002-2006
All images are available 12x12" and 20x20" printed as archival inkjet prints.
I began photographing my niece Hannah as a way to recreate my experience at her age. I thought that by using her and her sister Emma as models, I could visually reconstruct memories of my sisters and me when we were young.
Through this process, I have discovered that the girls' own personalities are impossible to ignore. Their stories are often revealed in more than just the subtext of these images. As I continue to photograph them, I recognize that the photographs are collaborations, reflecting us all.
