Her new book, The Fourth Wall, features riveting portraits of celebrated actors both on and off Broadway including Alan Cumming, Liev Schreiber, Ed Harris, Ethan Hawke and Martha Plimpton. The photographs were staged in anonymous places while the actors remained in costume and in character. The result is a surprising exploration of the question of identity. She will also speak about the perils and perks of being an editorial, commercial and art photographer.
