Janelle Lynch is an artist, educator and writer.

Her photographs, which she makes with an 8-x-10-inch view camera, are known for their formal precision and conceptual depth. They explore interdependence, transformation, and the dialogue of perception, and they ask urgent questions about what it means to be seen with an empathetic gaze. Her recent work expands into cyanotypes and filmmaking, deepening her critical engagement with the intersections of art, literature, and ecology.

Lynch’s work has been exhibited widely, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Museo Archivo de la Fotografía, and the Shanghai Center of Photography. It is included in numerous collections, such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, International Center of Photography, and Denver Art Museum.

Lynch is featured in the 2024 documentary, Janelle Lynch: Endless Forms Most Beautiful and is the recipient of honors, including the 2019 Prix Pictet shortlist, several residencies and grants. Her work has been published extensively, with three Radius Books monographs: Another Way of Looking at Love; Barcelona; and Los Jardines de México, and features in publications such as, The New York Times, Harper’s Magazine, and The Guardian.

Lynch is faculty at the International Center of Photography. She is represented by Flowers Gallery and lives and works in New York City and Amagansett, New York.
