Janine Wiedel is a New York-born documentary photographer and visual anthropologist based in London since 1970. She has been covering issues of social concern since the late 1960s.
Her career has mainly focused on groups struggling to survive on the edges of mainstream society. These projects have become significant studies, books, and exhibitions, and have fed into Wiedel’s extensive archive and photo library which contains a unique collection of stock images covering a wide range of social issues including education, protest, youth, alternative lifestyles, multicultural communities, drugs, and social exclusion.
