I’ve heard of the photographer Brenda Ann Kenneally before but I’ve never really explored her work until tonight.
Woahhhhh…..I’m blown away.
Her approach is very much in the vein of Joseph Rodriguez – in her honesty, warmth and respectfulness to the people who share their lives with her.
Like Rodriguez, she also shows a long-term commitment to the people she photographs and proves that incredible work can be done on one’s own doorstep – in Kenneally’s case Brooklyn, New York.
Check out some of her amazing multimedia work at the Raw File website. I recommend starting with Andy & Tata. This is where it’s at.

Got to know her work at perpignan last year and thought it was one of the best exhibitions there. she also did a talk, and i left feeing she was one of the most thoughtful and focused photographers, completely committed to the people she was photographing and not really concerned with winning contests or notoriety… (quite refreshing for perpignan, aherm)
Ciara. Couldn’t agree more. Kenneally deals with virtually every issue challenging the American disadvantaged. Nothing is a simple fix; as a result her work is beautiful but difficult … and we’re merely viewers.
