Work

Berman is a documentary photographer, author and educator. Much of her photographic work focuses upon the American political and social landscape, including the militarization of American life and the dialogue around war, patriotism and sacrifice. Berman is the author of two monographs: Purple Hearts – Back From Iraq,[1] and Homeland.[2] Her photographs and videos have been exhibited in the Brooklyn Museum,[3] Dublin Contemporary 2011[4] and the 2010 Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial.[5] She is the recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts grant,[6] several photojournalism awards, including two World Press Photo Foundation awards[7] (one of which was for her portrait "Marine Wedding" of Tyler Ziegel, a wounded Marine, and his bride),[8] and a Hasselblad award.[9] She is a former teacher at the International Center of Photography in New York City.

In 2005, Berman received the first Open Society Institute documentary distribution grant and traveled to high schools around the USA with Army veteran Robert Acosta presenting and exhibiting the Purple Hearts project.[10] Her work with high school students continued in 2010 in collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art as an artist in residence with the museum’s Youth Insights program.[11] In 2011, Berman developed a high school art curriculum with the Whitney Museum of American Art based on her images of wounded American veterans from the Iraq War and her Homeland series.[12] In 2009, Berman became a member of the NOOR photo agency based in Amsterdam. In 2012, she became an associate professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
