“In a world without utopias, Brighton Beach, to me, is the closest we can get to one ideal place in our intolerant society.” – Marcia Grostein

People of all colors, creeds, genders and anatomies cohabit in perfect harmony in Grostein’s riveting photographs. Grostein’s engaging and passionate style convey her deep respect for the individuals depicted in her images, who have often willingly shared their personal anecdotes with her.
