About the Photographer
Anne Hamersky is an award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in a wide range of publications including Time, LIFE, Los Angeles Times, Saveur, and National Geographic Traveler. Hamersky has exhibited nationally and internationally; authored public art projects, social media campaigns, and short-form videos. Hamersky has been dedicated to documenting food systems subjects for more than two decades. Her 2010 book Farm Together Now showcases 20 diversified agricultural operations around the country. She says, “ Whether on farmland or urban streets, I strive to create an envelope where people feel seen and heard. For me, there is power when subject, light, gesture, color, and frame come together—and it’s through this visual unity that I aim to take an audience to a more informed, compassionate, activated place.”
