1988
This image captures the essence of Nicholas Nixon’s ability to make a simple portrait feel rich with meaning. The four sisters stand closely, their expressions relaxed yet full of quiet depth, hinting at a lifetime of shared moments. There’s a palpable warmth here, with one sister’s arm draped around another, signaling the comfort they find in each other.
Nixon’s mastery lies in how he captures the unspoken connections between them without forcing the moment. Their clothing choices—casual, with a splash of leopard print—contrast with the soft natural backdrop, making this feel like a fleeting moment in their enduring bond.
