bonnie schiffman

Over the past three decades Bonnie Schiffman has photographed hundreds of celebrities from George burns to Jerry Seinfeld; Julia Child to Joni Mitchell; Muhammad Ali to Warren Buffet, all which have appeared in most major U.S. and International magazines. The energy and spontaneity that Bonnie brings to her work is what gives rise to her unique images; we get a new and honest perspective of her subjects. Lauri Kratochvil, former photo director of Rolling Stone and In Style magazine, said it best “Bonnie doesn’t put herself into the picture, she lets people do what they do so you don’t get the celebrity, you get the person.” Now Bonnie has archived a collection of portraits whose importance lay not only in their capture of her signature style of photography, but also in their contribution to the chronicles of American cultural history.
