Janine Wiedel is a New York-born documentary photographer and visual anthropologist based in London since 1970. She has been covering issues of social concern since the late 1960s.
Her career has mainly focused on groups struggling to survive on the edges of mainstream society. These projects have become significant studies, books, and exhibitions, and have fed into Wiedel’s extensive archive and photo library which contains a unique collection of stock images covering a wide range of social issues including education, protest, youth, alternative lifestyles, multicultural communities, drugs, and social exclusion.
Major Long-Term Projects:
Black Panthers and Berkeley Riots: photographs in California 1968-1969
Irish Tinkers: Five years project documenting the Irish Travellers
Eskimo Summer: Inuit Life on Baffin Island living with an Inuit Family
Looking at Iran: Educational book documenting Iran during the Shah's reign. Commission: A&C Black 1976 Funding from: Iranian Oil Company
Vulcan’s Forge: Two-year project documenting Britain's Industrial Heartland
Dover, A port in a Storm: Documenting Changes before construction of a tunnel
Faces With Voices: A year documenting the people of Sudbury, Suffolk
St Agnes Place: Four-year document of South London squatted street
Rastafarian way of life: Documenting a Rastafarian community in London
Food Awareness & Food Growing: Project with Rastafarian & BAME community
In Transit: a collaborative Documentary project with Jacky Chapman on the Calais Jungle and Grande-Synthe Refugee Camps 2016.
Ongoing Projects: Protest in its many forms & Multicultural Communities in Britain
