Rosalind Fox Solomon (April 2, 1930 – June 23, 2025) was an American photographer based in New York City.

In 2007, the University of Arizona's Center for Creative Photography acquired Solomon's archive, which includes her photographic archive, books and video work. In 2019, she received the International Center of Photography's Lifetime Achievement Infinity Award. Her work is held in the collections of the Center for Creative Photography, Museum of Modern Art, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Victoria and Albert Museum, and Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur.

Early life and education

Solomon was born on April 2, 1930, in Highland Park, Illinois."[http://www.creativephotography.org/press/releases/center-creative-photography-acquires-rosalind-solomon-archive Center for Creative Photography Acquires the Rosalind Solomon Archive]", Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona. Retrieved July 21, 2016. She graduated from Highland Park High School in 1947. She attended Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in 1951.{{cite web|title=Rosalind Fox Solomon, Whose Photos Captured Emotional Nuance, Dies at 95|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/arts/rosalind-fox-solomon-dead.html|date=June 27, 2025|last=Nossiter|first=Adam|publisher=The New York Times|access-date=June 27, 2025}}

Before photography

Later Solomon became the Southern Regional Director of the Experiment in International Living. In this capacity, she visited communities throughout the Southern United States, recruiting families to host international guests and interact with other cultures in a personal way.{{cite web|last=Collins|first=Jeanne|url=http://www.moma.org/docs/press_archives/6307/releases/MOMA_1986_0041_37.pdf|work=MoMA Press Release|title=Rosalind Solomon: Ritual|publisher=MoMA|page=1|year=1986}}

In August 1963, Solomon traveled to Washington, D.C. for an interview with the Equal Employment Department of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which was then establishing a program for part-time recruiter–consultants in various regions of the United States. Solomon and a group of USAID staff including Roger Wilkins (nephew of Roy Wilkins) joined the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, during which Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Subsequently, in her work for USAID, Solomon traveled to historically black colleges in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee where she spoke to students and faculty about overseas employment opportunities.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}

Photography

In 1968, Solomon's volunteer work with the Experiment in International Living brought her to Japan where she stayed with a family near Tokyo.{{Cite news|url=http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/shooting-israel-an-inner-voice-in-black-and-white-1.405799|title=Shooting Israel: An Inner Voice in Black and White|last=Aderet|first=Ofer|newspaper=Haaretz |date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=}} There, at age 38, Solomon began to use an Instamatic camera to communicate her feelings and thoughts. This was the starting point for her photography practice, which also includes prose related to her life experiences.{{Cite web|url=https://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/13/showcase-160/|title=Solomon's Singular Journey|last=Raab|first=Susana|date=|website=The New York Times|publisher=|access-date=March 30, 2018}}

Upon her return to the United States, Solomon photographed regularly. She purchased a Nikkormat in 1969 and in the garden shed she processed 35 mm black and white film and printed her first pictures. In 1971, she began intermittent studies with Lisette Model during visits to New York City (which continued until 1977). By 1974, she was using a medium format camera.{{cite web|last=Collins|first=Jeanne|url=http://www.moma.org/docs/press_archives/6307/releases/MOMA_1986_0041_37.pdf|work=MoMA Press Release|title=Press Release Rosalind Solomon: Ritual|publisher=MoMA|page=1|date=May 1986}} Dolls, children, and manikins were some of her first subjects, along with portraits and rituals.{{Cite web|url=http://www.rosalindfoxsolomon.com/biography/|title=Rosalind Fox Soloman Biography|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=}} She worked with black and white film exclusively.

In 1975, Solomon began photographing at the Baroness Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee. She photographed people recovering from operations, wounds, and illness.{{Cite web|title=American Children {{!}} MoMA|url=https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/2273|access-date=December 6, 2021|website=The Museum of Modern Art|language=en}}{{Cite book|last=Kismaric|first=Susan|title=American children, photographs from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art|publisher=The Museum of Modern Art|year=1980|isbn=0870702327|location=New York|pages=16|language=en}} In early 1977, Solomon photographed William Eggleston, his family and friends in Tennessee and Mississippi.{{Cite web|date=May 7, 2021|title=William Eggleston, Memphis Tenn., 1977 printed 2003|url=https://galeriejuliansander.de/artwork/william-eggleston-memphis-tenn-1977-printed-2003/|access-date=December 6, 2021|website=Galerie Julian Sander|language=en-US}} She moved to Washington where she photographed artists and politicians for the series "Outside the White House" in 1977 and 1978.{{Cite web|title=Rosalind Solomon, Washington : May 15-June 29, 1980|url=https://primo.getty.edu/primo-explore/fulldisplay?vid=GRI&docid=GETTY_ALMA21130009680001551&context=L&search_scope=default_scope|access-date=December 6, 2021|website=primo.getty.edu|language=en}}{{Cite book|last=Solomon|first=Rosalind|title=Rosalind Solomon, Washington : May 15-June 29, 1980.|publisher=Corcoran Gallery of Art|year=1980|location=Washington DC|language=en}} In 1978 and 1979, she also photographed in the Guatemalan Highlands."[http://www.cmp.ucr.edu/collections/permanent/object_genres/photographers/women/solomon.html Rosalind Solomon]".

In 1980, Solomon began her work in Ancash, Peru where she returned intermittently for over 20 years. She made photographs in cemeteries where damage from the 1970 Ancash earthquake was still apparent. She continued photographing shamans, cemeteries, funerals and other rituals. She also photographed people of a subsistence economy surviving the extremes of life through Catholic, Evangelist, and Indigenous rites.

With a fellowship from the American Institute of Indian Studies, in 1981 Solomon began photographing festival rites in India. She found an expression of female energy and power in the forms of the goddess figures created in the sculptors' communities of Kolkata (Calcutta). In 1982 and 1983, she continued this work. While there, she photographed artists, including the painter, Ganesh Pyne and the filmmaker, Satyagit Ray. She also made portraits of the Dalai Lama and photographed Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

In 1987 and 1988, Solomon photographed people with AIDS alone, with their families, and with their lovers. The project resulted in the exhibition, Portraits in the Time of AIDS at the Grey Gallery of Art of New York University in 1988.{{Cite web|title=Rosalind Solomon : portraits in the time of AIDS|url=https://library.nga.gov/discovery/fulldisplay?&context=L&vid=01NGA_INST:NGA&docid=alma991234123504896|access-date=December 6, 2021|website=library.nga.gov|language=en}}

In 1988, with concerns about the rise of ethnic violence in the world, she made her first trip to Poland. In 2003, she returned to work again in Poland.{{Cite book|last=Solomon|first=Rosalind|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XeRTAAAAMAAJ|title=Polish Shadow|date=2006|publisher=Steidl|isbn=978-3-86521-199-6|language=en}} Also in 1988, Solomon's interest in race relations and ethnic violence, took her to Northern Ireland, Zimbabwe and South Africa. She continued the project in 1989 and 1990 in Northern Ireland and South Africa. In the 1990s, she visited hospitals in Yugoslavia and rehabilitation centers for victims of mines in Cambodia, and photographed victims of the American/Vietnam War near Hanoi.{{Cite book|last1=Solomon|first1=Rosalind|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MLpzQgAACAAJ|title=Chapalingas|last2=Sammlung|first2=Stiftung Kultur (Cologne, Allemagne) Photographische|last3=Lange|first3=Susanne|last4=Sammlung|first4=SK Stiftung Kultur Photographische|last5=Sammlung|first5=SK Stiftung Kultur, Köln Photographische|date=2003|publisher=Steidl|isbn=978-3-88243-877-2|language=de}}
