About

Joanna Marlowe

Fifteen years on the pavement.

I'm a British-born, New York-based photographer working at the seam between street and documentary. My pictures are about people — the ones who never know they're being photographed, and the few who agree to stand still for ninety seconds and let me look.

I started with a borrowed camera and a city I couldn't afford to live in. I've since shot for editorial, fashion and brand clients across four continents, published three monographs, and kept the same habit I began with: walking, every day, until something true happens in front of the lens.
