Londoners at Home

1971 - 1974
Londoners at Home was photographed from 1971-74 when I lived in London. I was (and continue to be), driven by my desire to photograph the poignancy of ordinary people in their daily lives, not posing for the camera. The closer we look, the more important each individual becomes.

Londoners was photographed with a Hasselblad Superwide on a tripod. Because of the extreme wide angle of the Superwide, the camera was very close to the subject and could still include much of the space around them. The prints are selenium toned silver prints, approximately 15” square.

Londoners, Photographs by Nancy Hellebrand was published in 1974 in conjunction with a solo exhibition, Londoners At Home, at the National Portrait Gallery London, UK.
