(Self-portrait, Chicago area, n.d. by Vivian Maier) Vivian Maier 被譽為當代其中一位最具影響力的街拍攝影師，生前寂寂無聞，及後卻以其一絲不苟的構圖、標誌性的自拍與難以捉摸的神秘魅力俘虜藝壇。 Maier 於 1926 年生於紐約，四十多年來以保姆的身份長居美國；但其攝影手法、取材與風格均深受她在法國的童年和家庭背景影響，冶鍊出細膩而帶距離感的視角。 ​(Untitled, Self-portrait, 1959 by Vivian Maier) (Self-portrait, Chicago, June 1976 by Vivian Maier) Copyright Estate of Vivian Maier Courtesy Maloof Collection and Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York
