Anna Brown reviews Pamela Littky

Pamela Littky is a Los Angeles, CA based photographer who has worked with editorial type photography to document well-known musicians and other celebrities, as well as capturing the less iconic side of American culture via imagery of small town beauty pageants and carnivals.  She received her BFA from the University of Arizona, and her works have been exhibited widely. Littky’s unique and compelling eye influences her compositions, and her sense of humor is apparent in the way she captures the individuals she works with. For instance, in her Accountants series, I found her image of ‘Gary’ to be humorous in that she portrays an individual who seems equal parts indifferent and mundane. The look on his face, to me, reads as though he has done a routine task a million times over, and he is trying to explain how he feels in one expression. Littky is proficient in a variety of formats, and I think that is what makes her an excellent photographer.
