Jenny Jozwiak: Wanderlust

Image Copyright © Jenny Jozwiak -All Rights Reserved

Jenny Jozwiak is an award-winning travel and culture photographer, whose talented work in photojournalism and spontaneous portraiture speaks for itself. Her passion has taken her to 37 countries, where she has shown a singular gift for capturing the lives of people and their environment.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Jenny in Siem Reap, where we photographed amongst the temples of Angkor Wat for a few days. Her imagery in Angkor Wat has impressed me with her brilliant composition, as well as by her intelligent use of colors. We photographed the same monastery near Angkor Wat, but she managed to capture the light in a way I didn't, and yet we were there at the same time of day.

Jenny is also the curator and dirctor of the photodocumentary competition "Diversity of Devotion: Celebrating New York's Spiritual Harmony" for the nonprofit photography collective Positive Focus. I posted about this compelling project a few days ago on TTP.

I chose the beautiful photograph of a 'blue door and monk' at the monastery near Angkor Wat to illustrate her talents. As her photographs amply demonstrate, Jenny is a thorough color and composition perfectionist, and her photographic eye is enviable. She offers private and group photography workshops, and is currently planning her upcoming trip to inner Mongolia, China and Tibet.
