Photographing Domestic Violence: The Work of Donna Ferrato
This is a work of incredible courage.
"It might appear impossible to reconcile the two seemingly discordant narratives of Ms. Ferrato’s photographic career. Yet they share a common foundation: both are unflinching, intimate explorations of the deeply personal. And both make the viewer uncomfortable."
“I want to start a revolution with my pictures,” she said. “I want to wake people up, make people feel things — either suffering or incredible pleasure, or whatever I am feeling or observing.”
