Photographer Aydinaneth Ortiz, uses photography to document her personal life
Photographer Aydinaneth Ortiz uses her camera to explore her life. In fact, she takes pictures of her family. And creates a story of what families go through. As a matter of fact, some call it domestic photography.
For one thing, this can be a good way to explore one’s family dynamics. And, it could be helpful when coping with difficult family situations.
Through photography each family constructs a portrait-chronicle of itself” -Susan Sontag
