Layla Love

“Love’s methodology represents something rare in the venerable medium of photography. She mixes stuff up. That is to say she can be at once as objective about her subject matter and as committed to it as any member of the secular priesthood of Magnum, she can be as disturbingly intimate as Sally Mann and she can take off into a luminous world of high-tech pictorialism. All of which she does without sacrificing consistency. Her work is historically important because of her variety of genre and stamp of personality that makes the work unusual and uniquely recognizable.” — Anthony Haden-Guest
