What Nettie Harris Sees

Nettie Harris photographs people the way you’d describe someone to a friend who’s never met them—quickly, accurately, without flattery or apology. Modern Problems has that quality: subjects caught mid-thought, not quite posed, not quite candid, hovering somewhere uneasy between the two. The framing is economical. She’s not interested in making anyone conventionally beautiful. She’s interested in making them specific.
