Doppelgänger in New York
Photographer Cornelia Hediger came to Harlem via Switzerland, yet feels more at home here. This is no surprise-- as an artist, Ms. Hediger is no stranger to strong contrasts and dualities. Her composite photographs begin with a sketch that plays out a narrative between the main character and her doubles. Ms. Hediger plays all parts, and shoots it on film, noting that she’s the only one with enough patience to model in the complex images that manage to seduce and unnerve as psychological portraits.

Looking Through the Eyes of Soldiers
The veterans project of Brooklyn-based photographer Jennifer Karady uses the narrative, set-up shots of art photography to address real people and events more typically treated by photojournalists. In 2004 she began reading about the profound effects of combat stress and eventually decided she wanted to make photos with veterans to stage their war stories. When she discovered that post-traumatic stress disorder was being successfully treated with virtual reality technology, with veterans re-enacting their "trigger" moments, she knew she had hit on a way to tell the veteran's narratives.
