ARTIST STATEMENT
I have always been interested in people and diversity, and my work focuses on documentary photography emphasizing social identity and culture. I am inspired by Magnum Photos and their essays on social, racial, and political subjects, and by Henri Cartier-Bresson’s fleeting candid ‘decisive moment.’ I find people are the most complex and intriguing subject and I think it’s important to document a record that reminds of our past and where our future may lead. Photography is the most effective tool in self-discovery, vision, and communication. The challenge is how to craft our photography in a way that makes real changes and provides the possibility for hope.”—Sandra Chen Weinstein20x20
