Janelle Lynch (b. 1969) is an American large-format photographer who has investigated themes of absence, presence, transcendence, and the life cycle in her work. Her most recent series, Another Way of Looking at Love, for which she was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet 2019, explores the interconnectedness of all life forms and supports a renewal of human relationships to each other, and to the natural and the spiritual worlds.
Lynch’s photographs are in many public and private collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. She has three monographs published by Radius Books: Los Jardines de México (2010); AIGA award-winning Barcelona (2013), which also features her writings; and Another Way of Looking at Love (2018), which includes an essay by Darius Himes, International Head of Photographs, Christie’s.
Lynch’s work has been shown internationally. She has had one-person museum exhibitions at the Museo Archivo de la Fotografía (Mexico City), the Southeast Museum of Photography (Daytona Beach, FL), the Burchfield Penney Art Center (Buffalo, NY), and the Hudson River Museum (Yonkers, NY).
Another Way of Looking at Love is part of the Prix Pictet 2019 Hope exhibition’s global tour, with forthcoming venues to include Dublin, Shanghai, and Tel Aviv.
In March 2020, Lynch began a new body of work, Fern Valley, in the North Georgia Mountains.
