"Friedlander's approach towards others as a photographer is both very complex and immediately simple. Her 'style' has always been focused on revealing the human situation of a photograph's content rather than trying to design an image's content into an expression of one constant political agenda. She is an emigrant Jewish photographer who is obsessed with the process of cultural diaspora and she has chosen to employ photography as a tool which promotes expressive content before it looks at the attractions of pictorial arrangement. Truth has to consume beauty, it must be an insight of content and it must always be preferred to surface appearances. The more you look at the photograph's content, the more it looks back at you." - Ron Brownson
