    Flemish photographer Sanne De Wilde’s subjects for her series ‘Snow White’ are all albinos, people born with a rare recessive gene that strips their skin, hair, and sometimes their eyes, of the colour pigments that humans usually have. “They are a metaphor, a symbol for stereotypes,” De Wilde says. “They magnify the erroneous idea of […]
