Jennifer Posner has been passionate about photography for over forty years. Native of Louisiana, Jennifer was destined to see the world a little bit differently than others. She first studied photography in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where her high school class spent a summer studying Spanish and art at the renowned Instituto Allende. In a foreign land, she opened her eyes to a new culture, seeing architecture and compositions very differently than what was familiar. She learned how to shoot on her trusty Canon AE-1, seeing her images come alive in a tiny black and white darkroom, sparking a creativity inside she had never experienced.
After a corporate career in marketing, Jennifer decided to return to San Miguel de Allende to live a more creative life. To rekindle her excitement for photography, she took classes with street photographer Mark Powell, Santa Fe Photographic Workshops with Holly Wilmeth, Josh Withers and Dan Burkholder, and Seek Workshops with Eric and Kass Mencher. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions in San Miguel.
Jennifer also co-founded and co-directed Reel Docs, a film series which brings documentary films and filmmakers to San Miguel. She served as an Executive Board member of the Biblioteca Publica, a cultural center that offers Art, Culture and Education to the diverse communities of San Miguel.EXHIBITIONS
