Wendy Sue Lamm
Renown for Wendy Sue Lamm and her photographs is due in great part to her unerring ability to express the underlying, enduring beauty of real, daily events.
Ms. Lamm’s photographs are exhibited in numerous museums and galleries in Europe and Asia including Stockholm Stadsmuseet, Milan’s FORMA International Center of Photography, the Louvre in
Paris, and Japan’s Asahi Museum; and are featured in international publications such as The New York Times Magazine, Newsweek, Elle, Geo, Der Spiegel, L’Espresso, Republica, Figaro.
Her portraiture is highly sought after by major artists in recording and entertainment.
Ms. Lamm’s first book From the Land of Miracles, published in Europe and North America, is a reflection on the fragile balance of the daily lives of Israelis and
Palestinians in peace and in war. Within days of its release both American Photo Magazine and the Scandinavian Book Fair selected From the Land of Miracles as one of the
best books of the year.
After earning a BA in Humanities from the University of California at Berkeley in 1988, Ms. Lamm accepted photographic assignments for the next eight years that spanned America--from the border towns
of El Paso, Texas & Juarez, Mexico, to metropolitan daily newspapers & magazines in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
As a member of the Los Angeles Times team reporting on the 1994 earthquake in Northridge, CA her photos were part of the coverage that earned the Times a Pulitzer Prize.
From 1996 to 2005 she was based in Jerusalem, Paris and Stockholm. Acclaim for her work in those years includes World Press Photo Awards and the National Press Photographers Picture of the Year
Awards. In 2005 Ms. Lamm returned to her native Los Angeles.
