This Week's Photo

Jitka Hanzlová

In her Female series, Jitka Hanzlová photographs women of different ages and ethnic origins in cities she visits.

There is, in her selection of subjects, a developing tipology; individual styles and characters seem to become legible because of Hanzlová's serial and systematic approach.

How each woman reacts to the camera gives us information about her state of mind.

Street portraiture in this vein becomes a transparent testimony to the photographic encounter.
It is on this that our imaginings about the sitters pivot, reinforced by the similarities and differences between the images of a single series.
