  Nina Berman is a documentary photographer with a primary interest in the American political and social landscape. Her work has been extensively published, exhibited and collected, garnering praise in both the art and journalism communities with awards from the World Press Photo Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts and the Open Society Institute documentary photography fund. Her first monograph, “Purple Hearts – Back From Iraq” a collection of portraits and interviews with U.S. soldiers wounded in the war, was published by Trolley in 2004 and received wide acclaim. The book was made into a feature length documentary film by the same name and was screened worldwide. Her work on wounded veterans has continued and her 2006 “Marine Wedding” portrait that shows a severely disfigured marine with his young bride on their wedding day is considered to be an iconic image of life during wartime. Her work has been the subject of several solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums in New York, Chicago, Washington D.C. and throughout Europe. She is on the faculty of the International Center of Photography in her hometown of New York City.
