From 1989 to 2018 she was based in New York; now she lives and works in Amsterdam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dana is known for her intimate portraits of individuals and communities, often from the margins of society, which she captures with a large format field camera. It is important to Dana that each portrait tells a unique story in itself and that she can project something of herself onto that portrait. As she studies her subject and edits the composition, she creates a moment of suspended intimacy. The exposure and vulnerability of her subjects, regardless of their background, creates something magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lixenberg often commits to long-term projects with a focus on marginalized communities. Examples include&nbsp;<em>Jeffersonville, Indiana<\/em>&nbsp;(2005), in which she portrayed homeless people in the town of the same name, and&nbsp;<em>The Last Days of Shishmaref<\/em>&nbsp;(2008), a portrait of an Inupiaq community on an island along the coast of Alaska that is slowly but surely disappearing into the sea.
