Janine Wiedel has been living in the UK since 1970. She began photographing in the late 1960s in San Francisco. The Berkeley Riots and the Black Panther Movement in California marked the beginning of her career as a photographer and fuelled her lifelong interest in documenting protest movements and sub-cultures struggling to survive on the edges of mainstream society.
Studying under Ansel Adams in San Francisco and Thurston Hopkins in the UK, her work has been widely published and exhibited and is held in many collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Martin Parr Foundation in UK.
While continually taking on freelance work, Wiedel has always worked on longer term projects which have become major studies, books and exhibitions and have fed into her extensive archive.
