The Brown Sisters Morph: 40 years in 4 minutes

Acknowledgements to: sister Bebe’s photographer husband, Nicholas Nixon; Bebe and her three sisters Heather, Mimi, and Laurie; and The New York Times. In 1975, Nicholas took a photo of his wife Bebe and her three sisters during a family gathering. When he repeated it the following year, he realised that there was something special happening, and asked the sisters if they’d pose each year. Ever since, he has photographed his wife and her sisters annually, always in the same order, the most recent picture being taken in 2014.
