“Without a camera, I am often anxious and unforgiving in my judgment,” the photographer Judith Joy Ross has said. “With a camera, I can come to see and make sense of it all.” Indeed, nothing stands between Ross’s camera and its subject. Born in 1946, in a working-class neighborhood in northeastern Pennsylvania, Ross today lives a few blocks from the house in which she grew up. In black and white she photographs people from all walks of life, often within a civic context. She uses a large-format camera and gets images full of light and depth and detail. This exhibition gathers together photographs from the last 50 years of Ross’s practice. —Elena Clavarino
