Light Warriors

A series of dramatic, up-close portraits of women, all taken with Polaroid's remarkable 20 x 24-inch camera. These striking images are reminiscent of Tenneson's earlier work (Transformations and Illuminations) in their haunting, dreamlike qualities. However, these striking portraits of the female figure, often partially nude, draped in fabric, with unusual headdresses or objects in their arms, illuminated by eerie light, are unforgettable and a bold departure from her earlier work. A must for Tenneson's loyal fans — the photographic, feminist, and spiritual market — and also for a more general audience, capitalizing on her increasing visibility in the fashion field.

Joyce Tenneson has achieved high distinction in both the fine art and commercial photography fields. Her personal work has been exhibited throughout the world in over 100 exhibitions and is included in many museum collections. She is the author of Transformations, (hc, 1993) and (pb, 1994), and Illuminations (hc, 1997). Her work appears regularly in such magazines as Vogue, Time, and Esquire.
