This moving photograph by Katy Granan, is part of an exhibit by six photographers aiming to showcase “their take on contemporary portraiture to a broader audience.”
“This photograph was part of Sara Corbett’s New York Times Magazine article ‘The Women’s War,’ which described the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder on the lives of Iraq War veterans. All of these subjects faced serious challenges in connecting to the ordinary lives that the photographs so poignantly evoke.”
