rosalind fox solomon photographer dead

Rosalind Fox Solomon, a photographer known for her piercing black-and-white images of alienation, racism, and marginalization, died in New York at age 95. Her representative, Stephen Bulger Gallery, confirmed her passing. Over nearly six decades, she documented marginalized individuals—from Black Americans in the South to people with AIDS in New York to Palestinians in the West Bank—using a Hasselblad camera. Her work was marked by an empathetic yet distant approach, capturing the inner and outer realities of her subjects without close connection.
