Sunday, Elisabeth. Elisabeth Sunday: Grace.

Nazraeli Press, 2012. New in original shrink wrap. First edition of 1,000 copies. 44 pages. 17 x 14 inches. Dark brown cloth, paste-on photographic plate on front cover, not issued with dust jacket. Introductory essay by Deborah Willis.  Dark sepia-toned black and white photographs, taken of people in Africa wearing native dress or posed with fish.  Born in 1958, Sunday photographs using a curved mirror of her own design that distorts the figures, achieving remarkable effects in this, her first book.  She writes: “Mirror photography is much more than photographing a reflection, it produces a visual alchemy that combines the physical world with that of the great mystery . . . and captures some element that remains hidden in straight photography.”  Sunday's work is now in many museum and private collections and was included in the book, Convergence: 8 Photographers, the catalog for an exhibit featuring black photographers.
