about


Nina Berman is a documentary photographer, writer, educator and author of two monographs: Purple Hearts – Back from Iraq (2004), and Homeland (2008). She spent her first decade in photography covering stories about women in crisis for Time and Newsweek in Bosnia, Afghanistan, India and Mexico.

Since 2001, her attention has focused primarily on the American political and social landscape. Her portraits and video work of wounded American veterans from the Iraq War are internationally known and have been featured in major art shows, including the 2010 Whitney Museum Biennial and 2011 Dublin Contemporary.
In 2005 she traveled with a wounded solider to high schools in the USA and continues working, in conjunction with the Whitney Museum of American Art, to teach students about conflict and war, through photography and visual literacy.  She lives in New York City.  

In 2010 Nina was selected for the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial. She frequently lectures on photography, conducts workshops and is on the faculty of the International Center of Photography (ICP) in her hometown of New York City.
