Lynne Breitfeller is a New Jersey-based photographer. She explores the mundane and sometimes unexpected details of everyday life. Human relationships, memory and loss, object relations, and humor are recurrent themes in her work. She received her B.A. in English from William Paterson University and studied at the International Center for Photography. After a two-decade career in academic publishing, she returned to the visual arts.
Her work has been exhibited in juried shows in the U.S. and abroad, such as the Griffin Museum of Photography and the Attleboro Museum (Massachusetts), Center for Fine Art Photography (Colorado), Los Angeles Center for Photography and the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (California), SE Center for Photography (South Carolina), PH 21 Gallery (Hungary), LoosenArt (Italy), Blank Wall Gallery and Chania Photo Festival (Greece). One of her portraits was a finalist in the Lucie Foundation’s Carte Blanche 2022 open call and she was selected for the 2022 Rfotofolio Call. She has been published (print and online) in Shots, Visionary Arts Collective, Art Ascent, and Float magazines.
