2006 Berenice Abbott Honorable Mention:
Leslie Rosenthal
Leslie Rosenthal (http://images2gallery.com/rosenthalthumb.html), a graduate of the UCLA Film School, and resident of Pasadena, California, comes from a diverse background of movie production, editing and business management. Photography has always been the driving creative force in her life, and her camera, the gateway to a story waiting to be told. “Part photojournalist, part documentarian, I strive to create images that capture human intimacy and tell stories about people and the amazing lives they live. A lot of life happens right in front of you, and often it’s the everyday moments that make up people’s lives that provide the richest visual tapestry for a photograph”
Leslie’s work has been widely exhibited and has received numerous awards including Photographer of the Year: Editorial in the International Photography Awards.
