Barbara Bosworth

Bosworth is Professor of Photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. While all of her projects remind viewers that not only do we shape nature, but also nature shapes us—this is perhaps nowhere more evident than in her images of champion trees. For more than a decade, she has photographed the winning trees of each species in the United States, as designated in the National Register of Big Trees. In 1987 Bosworth was one of 17 photographers selected to participate in “America’s Uncommon Places: Sites from the National Register of Historic Places,” a traveling exhibition sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. In To Be At the Farther Edge, Bosworth photographed the New England National Scenic Trail for the National Park Service in 2012. Her work has been widely exhibited, notably in recent retrospectives at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Peabody Essex Museum, and the Phoenix Art Museum, and her publications include Natural Histories (2013), Trees: National Champions (2005), and Chasing the Light (2002).
