Eleanor Moseman is a human rights advocate and adventurer that uses her camera to amplify social and cultural narratives involving women and persecuted groups of people. She has a BFA in Photography and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University.

From 2008-2020, Eleanor was based in China and focused on drawing international awareness to the humanitarian issues of persecuted Buddhists in Tibet and the Muslim Uighurs (or Uighur community) of Xinjiang. As political regimes and the landscapes eradicate these cultures’ traditions change, she is working on creating photographic historical records of an era soon to be gone.

Eleanor’s photography has been published in The Guardian, PBS NewsHour, The Atlantic, Nikon: Learn & Explore, The LA Times, Bust, Forbes Life (China) and many other international publications. In 2020 her work was exhibited at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C., the Rose-Hulman Institute, and the British Museum in London. Her photography, first-hand knowledge, and experiences also contribute to the research of anthropologists, historians,  and conservationists.

Eleanor began exploring Asia on a two-year 15,000-mile solo bicycling tour around China, Tibet, and Central Asia that ended in 2012. This adventure was the catalyst that moved her towards a career in photojournalism while embarking upon many more intrepid solo adventures. These journeys into remote regions of Asia bring her closer to the people, culture, and pressing social issues that need to be documented and shared with the rest of the world through photography and knowledgeable reports.

In addition to her documentary-style work, Eleanor is also a noted architecture and interior photographer with assignments that have taken throughout Asia and the United States.
