The art adviser captured a portrait of her famous father – the photographer Joel Meyerowitz – as he pointed his camera at her during a visit to an exhibitionAs a child, Ariel Meyerowitz would follow her famous father around with a little Olympus XA camera and mimic his work as a photographer. Once home, he’d edit the images on a slide projector, inviting his daughter to sit alongside him. “He loved having a little shadow,” Meyerowitz recalls. “Watching him click through the slides, I learned not just to look at the world but to really see it, to notice the relationship between people and place, the colour of everything, and the humour or poignancy of it all.”To the wider world, that “perpetually creative, present and loving” father is Joel Meyerowitz, the renowned American photographer.
