Border Watcher With Dogs by Nina Berman

Nina Berman’s Homeland work was featured in an article and slide show on The New York Times blog Lens. Nina talks about her role as a photojournalist and about the work from her book and second show at Jen Bekman Gallery, Homeland.

Nina is able to walk the line between photojournalist and the fine art world through her eye and decision to shy away from objective photography by allowing her passion and voice to come through in her images. Nina say’s, “I don’t believe in the notion of the objective photographer, that somehow a photo is balanced and you’re dispassionate,” she said. “I don’t think that would have value. That’s like a security camera.”

Marine Wedding from Nina’s first solo exhibition Purple Hearts is currently on view at The New Orleans Museum of Art!
