Shorr shot in black-and-white, with a Nikon, often leaning through the partition that divided the driver from the driven during stops, so that the back of the car became a de-facto photo booth. From the moment that she announced her creative intentions to her subjects, she told me, “the whole dynamic of control and power in the car changed.”
