The work of Judith Joy Ross marks a watershed in the lineage of the photographic portrait. Her pictures unpretentious, quietly penetrating, startling in their transparency consistently achieve the capacity to glimpse the past, present, and perhaps even the future of the individuals who stand before her lens. Adolescents swim at a local municipal park, ordinary people are at work and play. From immigrants and refugees, to tech workers and students, military reservists and civilians all are incisively rendered with equal tenderness in Ross’s black-and-white, large-format portraits.
Published alongside the largest exhibition to feature Ross’s work to date, and drawn from her extensive archive of photographs made over the span of more than thirty-five years, Judith Joy Ross: Photographs 1978–2015 encompasses the best work of this influential photographer.
