Photography by Amy Stein

In narrative photographs, Amy Stein captures uncommon views of American life that explore the complex and often ambiguous relationship between individuals and their environs. Whether exploring the wary regard exchanged between humans and ’wild’ animals that have strayed into our midst, as with her series Domesticated, or portraying disarmingly poised children dressed for Halloween in her series, Halloween in Harlem, Stein consistently offers us compositions that are at once wry observations, and dream-like reveries.
