ALISON WRIGHT
BIOGRAPHY
| I am a freelance photojournalist based in San Francisco, specializing in
documenting the traditions and changes of endangered people in remote areas around the world.
My work has been featured in magazines and newspapers world-wide and includes photo essays on
medicinal healers in the Amazon rainforests, the hill tribes of South East Asia, Aung San Suu
Kyi in Burma, |
 | Based in Nepal for four years while documenting the plight of children for UNICEF and various other aid organizations, I became the 1993 recipient of the Dorothea Lange Award in documentary photography for my photographs of child labor in Asia. Since then, I have lived with exiled Tibetans in Nepal and India for over a decade, recording their culture and the challenges which exile has brought.
Originally funded by Kodak, my traveling photo exhibition of Tibetan culture helped establish a permanent wing dedicated to visual anthropology in the Phoebe Hearst Museum. I received my Master's Degree from the University of California at Berkeley where I created my own program in Visual Anthropology and now teach workshops.
