Met Art 2013-02-19 Riscatto Susana C By Catherine [work]

Susana C carries the set with a performance that is less about the "redemption" of the title and more about relaxed confidence. She possesses a distinctive look—often characterized by her natural figure and expressive eyes—that suits Catherine’s lens well.

The session began slowly. Catherine asked Susana to sit in the chair, to close her eyes, to breathe until her shoulders dropped from where they had been clenched near her ears. Then, with a soft click of the shutter, the work began. MET ART 2013-02-19 Riscatto Susana C By Catherine
