Whether photographing hunters and bird banders or the seasonal changes that transform mountains and meadows, Bosworth’s caring attention to the world around her results in photographs that inspire viewers to look closely.

Throughout her career, Bosworth has worked primarily with a large-format 8x10 camera. Her individual photographs reveal a generous attention to small details, while large-scale triptychs offer a panoramic perspective. Across her many bodies of work, Bosworth reminds us not only that we shape nature, but that it also shapes us.

Bosworth’s work has been widely exhibited, notably in solo exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston; Cleveland Museum of Art; Denver Art Museum; Peabody Essex Museum; and Smithsonian American Art Museum.

She is the author of more than a dozen books published by Radius Books, Dust Collective, TIS Books, Datz Press, and MIT Press, among others.

Bosworth is the recipient of a 1995 Guggenheim Fellowship and the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award from The Cleveland Arts Prize. 

Bosworth grew up in Novelty, Ohio, and lives in Massachusetts, where she is Professor Emeritus of Photography at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
