RoslYn BanisH
Author & Photographer

Roslyn found her passion when she enrolled in a photography course at the Institute of Design in Chicago, where she received a Master's degree in Photography. From the beginning, she was drawn to photographing people. Over time she realized that she wanted to include what her subjects had to say, along with the photographs. This approach of combining photographs and text has allowed her to more fully document human issues.

Published works include "Focus on Living: Portraits of Americans with HIV/AIDS", (UMass Press). An exhibit of photographs and interviews from the book travelled to 35 community-based venues, from colleges to health centers to LBGTQ centers to a cafe.

Other books: "City Families: Chicago and London," and children’s books "A Forever Family," "Let Me Tell You About My Baby,” "Just Gus: A Rescue Dog and the Woman He Loved."

Roslyn has exhibited her work in England and the U.S. and has taught photography in the U.S., England and Italy.
