Janelle Lynch is an artist who uses an 8-x-10-inch view camera and alternative processes to explore themes of ecology, resilience, transformation, connection, and the experience of seeing and being seen.

Her practice has been deeply informed by her studies of observational drawing and painting for ten years at the New York Studio School. Prior to that, Lynch earned an MFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts where she studied with Stephen Shore.

Lynch’s photographs and cyanotypes have been shown worldwide and are in many collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Her work has been featured in publications including The New York Times, Harper's Magazine, and Photograph Magazine. She has three Radius Books monographs: Los Jardines de México (2010); Barcelona (2013); and Another Way of Looking at Love (2018), and she is the recipient of several awards and grants, including three Kodak Film Grants

In 2019, her series, Another Way of Looking at Love, was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet, the leading award in photography and sustainability. A related exhibition opened at the Victoria and Albert Museum and traveled to nine international venues. In 2023, Flowers Gallery opened a critically-acclaimed exhibition of her series Endless Forms Most Beautiful in London. And in 2024, Janelle Lynch: Endless Forms Most Beautiful, a short documentary film, premiered at the International Center of Photography in New York.

Lynch is currently working on a long-term project in Amagansett, New York and her first two commissioned short films on the Big Island of Hawaii. She is faculty at the International Center of Photography and represented by Flowers Gallery.
