Melanie Einzig

Melanie Einzig (born 1967)[1] is an American photographer known for her street photography in and around New York City, where she has lived since 1990.

She has shown in group exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago; Somerset House in London; the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, Germany; and KunstHausWien in Vienna, Austria.

[6] Her photograph titled "September 11th, New York, 2011" was included in the Cartier-Bresson: A Question of Colour exhibition at Somerset House in London in 2012/2013.

Harry Eyres' review in the Financial Times considered the photograph "[p]erhaps the most dramatic single image in the Somerset House exhibition [. . .]

a brilliant, unforgettable photograph..."[7] Nancy Durrant in The Times wrote that "[i]n some ways the most powerful shot is Melanie Einzig's study on 9/11 in New York"[8] and Emily Luxton for HuffPost also considered it "[o]ne of the images which stands out the most" (despite being "one of the smallest").
