ERICA MCDONALD PHOTOGRAPHY

About

I am based in NYC and am available for assignments and commissions.

Currently I am working on a book of portraits, interviews and documentary street photography that focuses on the remaining working class in a changing Brooklyn neighborhood.

I began working in the field of photography under the tutelage of esteemed photo dealer Joe Folberg of San Francisco's Vision Gallery. When an opportunity came for me to run the gallery at The Maine Photographic Workshops, I was rewarded with the freedom to organize exhibits of the work of some of photography's greatest image makers.

Over the last few years I have worked on editorial assignments and have invested myself in my book project 'the dark light of this nothing.'

My work has been published in Mother Jones, Boston Magazine, YES! Magazine, El Mundo, The Epoch Times, The Week, The Globe Magazine, Search Magazine, burn magazine, The British Journal of Photography and by Nonesuch Records and Rhino Records. It is part of The Collector’s Guide to New Art Photography.

I was a contributing editor to the book 'Connections Across A Human Planet', a collection of photo documentary stories from around the world.

My photographs have been exhibited in Paris and in New York by PowerHouse, the Camera Club of New York and in Chelsea, at Magnum photographer David Alan Harvey's burn gallery, at FotoWeek DC and have been included in projections at LOOK3, Palm Springs Photo Festival and the Slideluck Potshow. Awards and nominations include IPA/Lucies, PX3, The NY Photo Awards and the Magnum Cultural Foundation EPF, and a Lower East Side Printshop Residency.

Other publications include Through the Years; St. Peter's Fiesta, hamburgereyes magazine, Humble, Group-Show, Photojournale and the Reebok Human Rights Awards.

I love dogs, small and large alike.
