"Redheads" by Joel Meyerowitz

$50.00

Photographer Joel Meyerowitz began photographing redheads in 1978 against the contrasting blue backdrop of Cape Cod. “My way of making portraits is not by getting down on my hands and knees, nor climbing high on a ladder,” Meyerowitz writes, “but simply standing eye to eye with anyone who has found their way to me... I need only one or two sheets of film and the patience to see it through.”

Making up only two or three percent of the world’s population, their stories of schoolyard bullying and self-acceptance illustrate a broader narrative of growth and beauty.
Despite cultural and racial distinctions between redheads, the phenotypic association between the subjects brings a sense of familiality to the collection of portraits.
