About Ilene Perlman

I am a Boston based event photographer, photojournalist and fine art photographer who has been lucky enough to travel the world documenting varied cultures as well as those closer to home. My passion as a documentary photojournalist stems from the thrill of capturing an unexpected moment. Whether traveling to Peru for an adventure travel company, traversing rural India documenting health programs for an NGO, wandering the labyrinth of the old city in Cairo for an in-flight magazine, or seeking out Jewish communities in Morocco, Ethiopia, Cuba, and more I cherish the moments not predicted on my itinerary.

I am excited to finally be able to offer some of my favorite photographs, collages, and photo assemblages through my new online fine art gallery . My gallery will offer my photography as both open editions, limited editions, and original mixed media in a variety of styles and sizes to match your aesthetic and need.

I have always worked creatively in two different worlds. As a photojournalist, I document my surroundings and capture images to tell a story. As a fine art photographer and artist, I use the camera along with other creative tools to construct something entirely new and unique. Some designs are more light-hearted and fanciful while others evoke social commentary.

Through my photography and fine art work I hope to pass on to the viewer all the warmth, tension, spontaneity, and happiness that I see and feel in these moments. I hope you enjoy the moments as well.
