Disappearing act : Ans Westra remembered

The act of disappearing is something that all documentary photographers have to master, and no-one did it better than New Zealand photographer Ans Westra (28 April 1936 - 26 February 2023).

Whether it was a dance, a race-day or capturing the hijinks of young children, Ans had the ability to make herself invisible enabling viewers a chance to enter into different worlds. This series is a small collection that demonstrates her ability to show the small intimacies, mischievous moments, or the inner worlds of those deep in emotion.
