Paloma Rebecca Dooley

Photographer

Paloma Dooley grew up in Harlem, New York and earned a BA in photography from Bard College. In 2016, she completed a one month artist residency at the Vermont Studio Center. In 2017, her work was included in "Too Good to be Photographed," (pub. Lugemik, ed. Paul Paper) a book about the strengths and failures of photography as a medium. She was commissioned to create a new body of work for "Augenblick Mal," a Swiss Publication, in 2018. Her recent project "Ground Control" and accompanying essay was featured in Carla Issue 21 in August 2020. She is also included in "Primal Sight," (2021, ed. Efrem Zelony Mindell). In March 2022 she was commissioned to shoot a piece for The New Yorker on oil drilling in Los Angeles, CA. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles. She uses a large format view camera to photograph predominantly in the landscape at home and on the road. When she is not focusing on her own photographic projects, she is working with artists to curate shows in the small, artist-run exhibition space "Hermitage" that she co-founded in 2020.
