Barbara Bosworth is professor of photography at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston.
Her images concern our interaction with nature and the environment. Using a large-format 8 by 10 inch view camera to capture portraits of hunters, national champion trees, compelling extended landscapes and extraordinary moments from the every day.
"Barbara Bosworth's photographs are graced with an uncommon elegance and intimacy," "The expansive sweep and clarity of her prints open the landscape before us with a deceptive agility, but it is in their richness of experience and sensation that they are so compelling."
