Sita Mae Edwards is not your average photographer. Where others see the mundane, the grotesque, and the forgettable; she sees beauty in faces and bodies that are often ignored and underrepresented in visual media.
It's a truly rare thing to find a photographer with a knack for seeing things beyond face value. Sita has just that. She finds compelling stories in old wrinkled faces, quite beauty in big round bodies, and high art in skin that is covered with tattoos. She takes pictures with one goal in mind – to allow people to see through her own eyes.
For Sita Mae Edwards, her subjects are not the object of fear or loathing, but instead the very definition of humanity. Her lens wipes away the plastic film left behind by fashion magazines and daytime television, bringing clear the true souls of modern society. Though far removed from mainstream media, her subjects are in fact far more real then society would have you believe.
