2008 PhotoNOLA Review Prize recipient Sarah Wilson is based in Austin, Texas. Her series, “Blind Prom,” focuses on an American right of passage, the high school prom. For the past two years Wilson has served as the official prom photographer for the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, producing the students’ formal portraits and also capturing candid moments throughout the night. “The images are insightful, poignant and intimate. They help us understand a world very different from our own without being either intrusive or condescending.” – Doug Parker, Photo Editor of The Times-Picayune
