Mary Ellen Mark's photography (1940–2015) offers a profound look into the human condition, stemming from her deep connection with her subjects. She possessed a unique ability to integrate into diverse and often challenging environments, traveling globally to create a body of work that merged photojournalism with portraiture. Her subjects ranged from Indian circus performers and street-dwelling American teenagers to Hollywood sets and individuals in secure hospitals. Mark's striking images are characterized by their profound humanity and empathy.
