About

 

Jenny Brover is a fine art photographer, focused on travel and documentary, in the New York City area. She has been working as a commercial photographer and graphic designer for the past decade. Travel, exploration, chance encounters and social issues are what inspire her personal work. Her most exciting exhibit thus far was at the town municipality in a Brazilian village, where she volunteered as an assistant photo teacher and English language teacher in 2009.
