1978
This is the fourth photograph from Nicholas Nixon’s “Brown Sisters” series captures an intimate and natural moment between the four sisters. Their expressions are calm, contemplative, and unposed, creating a sense of authenticity. The arc of their faces draws the viewer in, highlighting their bond.
Soft, natural light adds a fresh and airy quality, while the simple backdrop and clothing keep the focus on their faces. The subtle textures of the background complement the composition, grounding the image while maintaining a feeling of unity and timelessness. It’s a quietly powerful portrayal of connection and change with the passage of time.
