Four Sisters, 40 Photos: Capturing 40 Years of Priceless Memories

1988

"This photograph shows Nicholas Nixon’s talent for turning a simple portrait into something full of meaning. The four sisters stand close together, their relaxed expressions holding a quiet depth, suggesting years of shared memories. One sister’s arm around another adds a sense of warmth, showing the comfort they find in each other.

Nixon’s skill lies in capturing their unspoken bond without pushing for it. Their casual clothing, with a touch of leopard print, contrasts nicely with the soft, natural background, making the photo feel like a brief, yet meaningful moment in their lasting connection."
