People and Portraits

Gail has been photographing people since the 1960's. Intimate close-up street portraits comprise this current body of work.

These are images of young people on the streets of New Paltz, NY and elderly people on the streets in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Repeat photographing of two of the young women resulted in portraits taken in the studio, as was the portrait of the elderly woman with white hair — the artists mother. Whether on the street or in the studio, time is taken to interact with each person and for both photographer and subjects to get comfortable, and the results are these intimate portraits.
