Big Camera Show
Invited by Matthew Connors
Big Camera Show presents the work of current students and recent alumni of various BFA and MFA programs working with view camera technologies. For the non-photo nerd, picture an older box camera where the photographer has a dark cloth over their head to focus an upside down and backward image onto a pane of ground glass. Each photograph is made on an individual sheet of large film - for example, the formats most commonly used are 4 by 5 inches and 8 by 10 inches.

Working with an 8x10 view camera and black and white film, Brown made portraits of the families, friends, and individuals within her circle of Asian Americans and their parents. Providence, Rhode Island and its neighboring cities are home to a large Southeast Asian population, mostly Cambodians– many of whom share ties with her mother, a locally-known nurse practitioner who was born in Cambodia. Being from the smallest state, each of Brown’s sitters are uniquely interconnected. In this thoughtful documentary series, Brown shares an intimate look into the distinct closeness and pride within her community, as well as the complexities of being from two places at once.
