While obtaining her B.F.A. in Photography from Parsons School of Design, Californian native Annabel Clark photographed her mother, the late actress Lynn Redgrave, while she was undergoing treatment for Breast Cancer. She now teaches photography at the Creative Center, a nonprofit organization that provides free art workshops to people living with cancer and other chronic illnesses.

Best described as a documentation of life, she fully commits to her work and subjects, taking the viewer on a journey through intimate captures of their lives. She photographed conjoined twins Carmen and Lupita for four years in a bid to show how normal their life was and to change the way people view conjoined twins.

Carmen on being stared at by strangers:

 “They stare at me like I’m crazy, I stare at them like they’re crazy. Treat people the way you want to be treated: they want to treat me like that, I’ll treat them like that.”
