Vivian Maier (February 1, 1926 – April 21, 2009) was an American street photographer born in New York City. She worked as a nanny and care-giver for the most of her life, but in her leisure time she ventured into the art of photography. Consistently taking photos over the course of five decades, she would ultimately leave over 100,000 negatives, most of them shot in Chicago and New York City. Vivian would further indulge in her passionate devotion to documenting the world around her through homemade films, recordings and collections, assembling one of the most fascinating windows into American life in the second half of the twentieth century.
In Finding Vivian Maier, Maloof teams with producer Charlie Siskel to trace Maier’s history and geography. Maier was an inveterate wanderer and self-taught photographer, favouring a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera, with an uncanny ability to get close to people from all walks of life. Thanks to Maloof’s efforts, critics and galleries have now rallied behind Maier’s work, and The New York Times recognized her as “one of America’s more insightful street photographers.”
