Here is a large format photographer of whom I was previously unaware:

She has a small book out that was featured in photo-eye's weekly email:

Ah, had to think a bit -- but have come across her name before -- I believe from Mark Steinmetz's 2014 Time Magazine 'Off the Radar' article on 'Nine Women Photographers of the Northeast': https://www.bgsu.edu/arts-and-sciences/school-of-art/faculty-staff/lynn-whitney.html

Nice seeing a larger body of her work. Interesting and varied choice of subject matter, which I appreciate. May order the book.

Thanks for bringing her to our attention.

Thanks Oren, I wasn't familiar with her either. I appreciate her less studied, somewhat informal approach with what I believe is an 8x10 camera.

It looks like she shoots a waist level medium format for lots of her shots. Square format. Waist level seem to bring out intimacy. Very nice.

Her site says large and medium format.

Her site says large and medium format.

Well, that explains everything! (almost)
