Katy Grannan: The 99

Collaborating with subjects encountered spontaneously on the street, and with her long-time model and muse Linda, Grannan created portraits that offer a unique take on street fashion photography.

An intimate and unflinching portrait of a ravaged community living on South Ninth Street in Modesto, California. Grannan photographs everyday rituals, small interactions, and moments of beauty on the fringes of society, conferring significance to what is often overlooked.

A series of portraits made with strangers the artist met on the streets of San Francisco and Hollywood, California. Photographed against white walls in the glaring noon sunlight, each individual is recognized and uniquely emphasized.

Working collaboratively with her subjects, the artist explores the relationship between aspiration and delusion, and how our desire for attention confronts the prospect of anonymity.
