When she found a collection of love letters her late-grandfather had written to her grandmother, photographer Lauren Fleishman discovered not only a priceless family treasure, but also the subject of her next project.
Called Love After After, Fleishman's forthcoming book features moving portraits of New York-area couples who have been married for 50 years or more. Her aim is to "preserve their stories and to illuminate our universal experience of love," writes Fleishman on her website after spending the past three years documenting those stories.
