Annie Grossinger is a documentary photographer and visual storyteller in Brooklyn, NY. Her work focuses on long-term visual projects surrounding the carceral system, global health, and the effects of government policy on communities. She’s particularly interested in humanizing complex systems in order to drive a deeper connection. Much of her work combines photo with text, archival imagery and ephemera in an effort to collaborate with the people she is photographing and create historical context. Most recently, she published a photo book, Serpent Tongue, with Daylight Books.
She graduated from Lehigh University with a B.A. in Journalism and History and was awarded a “Director’s Scholarship” to attend the Documentary Practice & Visual Journalism program at the International Center of Photography (ICP). In 2016, she taught the "Ethics of Photojournalism" course at Rush University's Global Health Summer Institute. During the pandemic lockdown, she was the Communications Director and Photo Editor for Fotodemic, an online platform that explored new visual strategies during a changing time.
