LYNN GILBERT
I am a photographer who documents areas of society that have not been recorded before. In the 1970s, I took environmental portraits of children from more than a hundred families in New York City from different socioeconomic backgrounds.
One of my significant contributions has been documenting the key trailblazers from the second wave of the women’s movement. In 1981, I published their portraits and their stories in their own words in my book “Particular Passions: Talks with Women Who Have Shaped Our Times.”
I also documented the interiors of traditional houses in Turkey, which are a significant part of their cultural heritage. They were published in "The Silk Road: Then and Now."
Recently, I’ve documented the transformation of a private garden through the seasons.
My work has been widely exhibited and published, with portraits in the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian, and New York Historical Society. It has also appeared on various media platforms more than 1,000 times, including Netflix, Nvidia, Intel, National Geographic, MoMA, the British Museum, and The Washington Post.
