Elizabeth Holmes

I am a New York based photographer who uses alternative and digital processes to capture vanishing and cultural landscapes. 

I have photographed disappearing ghost towns in the American West; the Art Deco Historic District of South Beach; and iconic scenes along Route 66. Closer to home, I have documented the vanishing cultural diversity of New York City neighborhoods; rural farms, vineyards, and waterfronts along Long Island’s East End; the disappearing Coney Island boardwalk; and declining Rust Belt towns.

My work has been exhibited in galleries throughout in the United Sates including The Center of Fine Art Photography; The Long Island Museum; Karis Art Gallery; A. Smith Gallery; The Southampton Cultural Center; the Kirkland Arts Center; and has been included in the corporate collections of Latham & Watkins, Pfizer Corporation, and the San Francisco Ritz Carlton Hotel.

My work has been commissioned by private collectors and been featured in Photo LA, 591 Photography Public Spaces, Silvershotz International Fine Art Photography Folio, and Alternative Photography: Art and Artist Edition 1.

For the past twenty years, my focus has been on identifying areas with a strong sense of place that connect to us to our past.
