“Sander favored long exposures [...]. He captures a breath, a heartbeat or two, in a body that’s stilled but not static. In these pictures, shutter time melds with the quick time of fashion. Young people use pose, breath, movement, gesture, and clothes to style themselves for the camera. The time of the photograph, by this measure, is not the split second of the index, but the time of the gesture.”
