A Fearless Eye brings Ramos's images to print for the very first time, introducing audiences to a photographer whose work belongs alongside that of Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, and Vivian Maier.Featuring a preface by award-winning novelist and essayist Rachel Kushner, an essay by photography historian Sally Stein, and an interview with Ramos by photographer and writer Stephen A. Heller, this enthralling street photography book is a fascinating time capsule of a bygone moment in California history.FILM PHOTOGRAPHY In his profile of Barbara Ramos in Black & White magazine, Stephen A. Heller calls her photographs “startling in their humanity, objectivity, and originality," observing that they "deserve to share center stage with those of Frank, Maier, Arbus, and Friedlander.” A Fearless Eye provides an exciting introduction to this previously unsung talent through a curated selection of Ramos's incredible archival images.REDISCOVERED FEMALE Throughout the early 1970s, Barbara Ramos became obsessed with exploring the world through her camera, but she was forced to switch careers to make a living at the time.
