Janelle Lynch is an American artist who uses a large-format camera and alternative processes in the discovery of ecological, spiritual, and human connection.
Combining portraits and nature imagery, Lynch’s work explores and imagines a world that centers beauty, connection, and empathy as foundational values and healing forces.
Lynch’s photographs and cyanotypes have been shown worldwide and are in many private and public collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; International Center of Photography, New York; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
Lynch has three Radius Books monographs: Los Jardines de México (2010); AIGA award-winning Barcelona (2013), which also features her writings; and Another Way of Looking at Love (2018). Her work has been featured in publications including Harper's Magazine, Photograph Magazine, and The Guardian, and she is the recipient of several honors and grants, including three from Kodak.
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 October 2024, Janelle Lynch: Endless Forms Most Beautiful, a short documentary film by Mia Allen premiered in New York City.
