Diana Cheren Nygren is a fine art photographer from Boston, Massachusetts. Her work explores they way humanity inhabits the environment, both natural and built, around it. Her photographs address serious social questions through a blend of documentary practice, invention, and humor.
Diana was trained as an art historian with a focus on modern and contemporary art, and the relationship of artistic production to its socio-political context. Her emphasis on careful composition in her photographic work, as well as her subject matter, reflects this training. Her work as a photographer is the culmination of a life-long investment in the power of art and visual culture to shape and influence social change.
Her project “When the Trees are Gone” has been featured in numerous publications, and won a number of awards including Discovery of the Year in the 2020 Tokyo International Foto Awards and 2nd place in the 2020 International Photo Awards. “The Persistence of Family” was awarded Best New Talent in the 2021 Prix de la Photographie de Paris.
