Barbara Bosworth is a photographer whose large-format images explore both overt and subtle relationships between humans and the rest of the natural world. Whether chronicling the efforts of hunters or bird banders or evoking the seasonal changes that transform mountains and meadows, Bosworth’s caring attention to the world around her results in images that similarly inspire viewers to look closely. Her single images display a generous attention to small facts, while her large-scale triptychs reveal a panoramic awareness, one that lets viewers glimpse relationships between frames across a wide field.

Bosworth’s publications include The Heavens (Radius Books, 2018); The Meadow (Radius Books, 2015); Natural Histories (Radius Books, 2013); Trees: National Champions (M.I.T. Press, 2005); and Chasing the Light (Nightwood Press, 2002). Bosworth’s work has been exhibited at The Denver Art Museum, Smithsonian American Art Museum, San Francisco Museum of Modern ArtMead Art Museum, Mt. Holyoke College Art Museum, New Britain American Art Museum, and Peabody Essex Museum. A recipient of multiple fellowships and grants, Bosworth’s awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, and a Kittredge Foundation Grant. Her work is represented in major collections including Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Center for Creative Photography, Cleveland Museum of Art, Houston Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Modern Art, Peabody Essex Museum, Phoenix Art Museum, Princeton Art Museum, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Smithsonian American Art Museum. Bosworth was born in Novelty, Ohio and currently lives in Massachusetts. She is Professor of Photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
