Mariana Cook traveled all over the world—from Johannesburg to Yangon—to capture many of both the well-known and the lesser-known pioneers of the human rights movement. The portraits show the power of a single individual—one face, one voice—to transform the world. The photographs featured are published in Justice: Faces of the Human Rights Revolution.
Mariana Cook is a photographer who uses black-and-white film and prints on silver gelatin paper. Ten books of her work have been published, including the best-selling Fathers and Daughters (1994) and the most recent, Justice: Faces of the Human Rights Revolution (2013). Stone Walls: Personal Boundaries was her first book of landscapes, which was released in 2011 to much acclaim. Her photographs are held in both private and museum collections including: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art, New York City; The Getty Museum, Los Angeles; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Bibliothèque Nationale and Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; and the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC. She is the last protégée of Ansel Adams.
