Photographer Mary Ellen Mark Dies at 75

Noted documentary photographer Mary Ellen Mark passed away Monday, May 25 in New York. "She was a great storyteller," Aperture editor in chief Melissa Harris is quoted in The New York Times. “She got to know the subjects she photographed very well, and she was able to convey who they were and how they lived, as well as a sense of their interior lives. There are not that many photographers who can do that.” We are proud to have represented many of Mark's groundbreaking books over the past decade, and honored to distribute her last and forthcoming book, Tiny, Streetwise Revisited, which expands upon Mark's classic Streetwise with an additional 30 years worth of photographs of the poignant central character, Tiny, photographed here in 1983. This significantly expanded iteration presents the iconic work of the first edition alongside new images which have never been published before, plus texts and captions drawn from conversations between Tiny and Mark as well as Mark's husband, the filmmaker Martin Bell, who made the landmark film, Streetwise.
