Elisabeth Sunday

Utilizing a flexible mirror of her own design, Sunday photographs reflections that blend and dissolve the boundaries between her figures and their environment. Her images express an intimacy, tempered with a corresponding strength, that is derived from original peoples relationship to the world of nature.

Elisabeth Sunday is the progenitor of "Field Mirror Photography," and first began taking mirrors into the field in 1983 during her first residency in Paris. Her prints are made using film cameras, (analogue technology), and have no digital special effects. All the elongation is, 'in-camera.' Sunday designs mirrors and has them built to specific specifications that yield unique visual effects, with marvelous and surprising results. 

Her work has been widely exhibited in the United States and in Europe, and her prints are in many museum collections including; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The High Museum of Art, The Houston Art Museum, The Cleveland Art Museum, and many more. 

Nazraeli Press published her first monograph, "Grace" in 2012. It is currently sold out. Elisabeth Sunday was born in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. 

She currently resides in Normandy, France.
