Yvette's Family, no. 2 1993

Nancy Andrews made this photograph titled, 'Yvette's Family, no. 2,' and I'm immediately drawn to how it captures a sense of intimacy and connection through its monochrome palette. It feels very personal, like a snapshot from a family album. I love the texture here. The grainy quality of the photograph lends a tactile feel, almost like you could reach out and touch the subjects. The way the light falls across their faces, highlighting the details of their expressions, is captivating. I find myself particularly drawn to the woman's glasses. They seem to act as a focal point, drawing attention to her gaze and adding a layer of complexity to her character. This photograph reminds me of the work of Nan Goldin, especially in the way it captures intimate moments of everyday life, the push and pull of relationships, and the beauty found in the imperfect. It’s a testament to the power of photography to capture not just what things look like, but how they feel.
