Eleanor Moseman: Visual Storyteller

Eleanor Moseman is a photographer, human rights advocate, and adventurer who uses her camera to amplify social and cultural narratives involving women and persecuted groups. From 2008 to 2020, she was based in China and focused primarily on the lives and resistance of Tibetans and Uyghurs. She continues this long-term work among diasporic communities in the United States and India. She is now based between Bend, Oregon, and Asia.

Her visual journey began with a two-year, 15,000-mile solo bicycle tour through China, Tibet, and Central Asia that concluded in 2012. That experience became the foundation for her career in photojournalism. Her most meaningful stories have emerged from immersive, solo journeys into politically sensitive and remote regions, where she built long-term trust with the communities she documented.
