From high fashion to humanitarianism, Jane Feldman’s artistic eye has captured the soulful essence of every shade of light and life in the direction of her lens. Jane began her career as a New York City fashion and advertising photographer and producer. Her passion for human rights inspired her involvement in international projects with Amnesty International and creating portraits of such world leaders as Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, and Maya Angelou. Jane’s photojournalism expanded to include working with other vital non-profit organizations focused on Human Rights, Youth Empowerment, Racial Equity, Food Justice, and the Environment. She continues to work extensively with many Indigenous communities as well.
Early in the pandemic, in collaboration with Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra, Maria Shriver, and other luminaries, Jane contributed her images to a 24-hour live stream, “A Call to Unite,” that helped raise millions for people in need. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, the Boston Globe, TIME, PBS’s Frontline, CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, the History Channel, YES! Magazine, Orion Magazine, and Berkshire Magazine, among other media platforms.
Jane has long advocated for the equitable and inclusive approach to how history is recorded and taught… She was the co-author and photographer of the book “Jefferson’s Children: The Story of One American Family” (Random House), co-authored with Jefferson-Hemings descendant Shannon Lanier. She has new books in progress.
As a presenter, Jane seeks to provoke the soul. She is a contributing artist and speaker to the Re-imagining of Rockwell & Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms exhibit at the Norman Rockwell Museum. And, in honor of the teachings of Archbishop Tutu and the Dalai Lama, she has been presenting her photos of them and stories from her 25 years of photographing “the Arch,” as she intimately calls him, in collaboration with the film “Mission: JOY.”
