Erin Trieb is probably one of the most gifted photojournalists of her generation. She has just launched a web documentary project on the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, and she is looking for funding. This is the video message that she sent us.
Erin Grace Trieb (b. 1982) grew up in Dallas, Texas and completed a Bachelor’s of Science degree with an emphasis in commercial, portraiture and studio photography from East Texas State University in 2004. After interning as a newspaper photographer in Israel, she has since freelanced as an independent photojournalist and documentary photographer, covering major stories in the Middle East, Africa, and most recently the war in Afghanistan. Her work concentrates on a diversity of subject matter from international conflict and social concerns to local, feature stories in Texas.
Erin is currently based between Austin, Texas, and upstate New York, where she is pursuing an extensive documentary project and study on US infantry soldiers returning from the war in Afghanistan.
