Lynn Osborn, an architect living in Brookline, MA and Warren, VT , lately has been spending more time behind her camera than at the drafting table. While her photographic interests are many, most recently she has been focusing her lens on people in the built environment and those places that manifest human relevance. Her most recent project is portraits of about 120 people on their front porches during the Pandemic, emphasizing the variety of people, family groups and front porch architecture as well as the importance of community.
Long ago Lynn had a solo exhibit at Boston City Hall on the Adventure Playground movement in London. Recently she had a solo show, “Works of Hand” at the Brookline Public Library which featured thirty local independent businesspeople who work with their hands.
For several years, she organized “After Hours” – a group show of Art by Architects. Throughout her life she has focused her lens on ordinary moments, mundane objects, street life and the pattern language of people in the built environment.
She received her master’s degree in Architecture from MIT and has taken photographic workshops at Santa Fe and Maine Media Workshops. She also studied long term portraiture at Mass College of Art with Rania Matar.
