Artist’s Statement

Strangers on the street mesmerize me. My eye scours for subjects separated from the crowds, while drawn towards the simplicity of space that surrounds them. Emotions also play a pivotal part, capturing one’s private moments reveal stories untold. Photography inspires me, creating art on the streets fuels my heart.


BIO

Judith Farber has been a documentary photographer for 40 years.

Her love of photography began with photographing tourist attractions in Santa Barbara, California for a local newspaper. Her first photo instructors were Ansel Adams and Yousuf Karsh where her inspiration came from documenting the teachers.


Judith moved to NY in the late 70’s where she worked for 2 newspapers, as photographer for one, and interviewing photographers and writing about their studios for another. She also began receiving assignments from major airlines (TWA, Royal Air Moroc, Iberia Air, Pan Am) and tourist boards (Moroccan, Jamaican, Spanish) in the 80’s and 90’s. She was sent to various countries around the world to shoot for the airline publications. From this extensive traveling, she found a passion in street photography.


In the mid 90’s, Judith co-founded the first and largest educational photo website on the Internet, Photoworkshop.com. It was sponsored by the largest names in the industry (Adobe, Apple, Sandisk, Polaroid), and became home to the Canon Digital Learning Center. Photoworkshop.com elevated her ability to critique, teach and write about photography. When Hurricane Katrina hit, Judith asked for cameras from Polaroid and Canon and went to Louisiana to teach photography to the children affected by the hurricane. She helped them create new family photos lost from the destruction during the time they lived at the shelters. She’s taught children around the world, including China where she lived with a family in China teaching English and photography to private school children, Australian students, created a photo class for children in California, taught photography to Tibetan students in Dharamsala, India, as well as teaching in Mexico.


Drawing from my critiquing and teaching experiences, what evolved was Sundays in NY photography which was one of the first NYC street photography teaching tours. Along with this included a new direction in online photo critiquing, and that was 2010. And in 2018, I wrote a very "simple, quick read" book that still sells on Amazon on what I taught in my composition classes on the streets of NYC. https://a.co/d/6YTFG5C


We are thrilled that Judith is now part of the team at the Interactive Coaching Center.
