Svezia, 1971.

 

“I think of women as the most natural subjects for me, in two senses. Firstly, because women often express more in their faces, and are less inhibited in showing emotion. Then because being a woman has been a great advantage to me personally in being a photographer. Women subjects are less threatened by a woman, so it is easier for me to approach them without seeming intimidating. I can win their trust, move in closer.”

(Dorothy Bohm, nata Dorothea Israelit, fotografa; Königsberg, 22 giugno 1924 – Londra, 15 marzo 2023)
