Stephanie Brown's - Last Winter, Photographic Memories of Poland and the Holocaust

I was invited by the Art House of McAllen to document their show 'Last Winter" by Stephanie Brown. I was initially drawn in by the artist and her recollection and range of raw emotions of the photography. Very skilled for being so young. Almost immediately the choice was made to shoot for black and white, not only because of the b/w photography--but going black & white in post gave the show a further sense of realism. I shot with natural light only and decided to go open mic. I felt that her voice would reverberate nicely given the wooden floors and you will notice that as she speaks--it in a way melds with the photographs giving a sense of open space. Please forgive me for not knowing the title or musicians but it was something I had been given and had tucked away for a special project as this. The original was cut into two parts and loaded onto the Art House - youtube page. However, I did want a cut down version on my VAN page.
