Nixon is a photographer who is particularly skilled in portraiture and documentary photography. He also was a pioneer in using the 8x10 inch view camera. Perhaps his most famous work was The Brown Sisters. In this series of photographs, Nixon takes one portrait of 4 sisters every year. As of 2006, he is still adding to the collection. Interestingly, Nixon is also known for his photography book People with AIDS.
He graduated from Michigan University with a degree in English, I thought that was interesting because I thought you could get a degree in photography?
I give this photo (one of the pictures in his series) a 7/10. It’s well composed and all the sisters have the same facial expression, but it is just kind of bland.
