“I’m interested in women’s and children’s issues, immigration and healthcare.”
Ilana Panich-Linsman
Based out of Austin, Texas, Panich-Linsman is my newest inspiration in photojournalism.
Panich-Linsman has most recently covered stories for the New York Times on families living on the boarder, and realted topics.
After receiving her M.A from the University of Arts in London, Panich-Linsman went on to graduate from the International Center of Photography’s photojournalism program.
Panich-Linsman continuously creates strong visual relationships, placing women, immigrants, and minorities in the spotlight. Her past work has ranged from following the lives of fifteen year olds in the US, to photographing an immigrant detention center in South Texas.
After photographing a series documenting Pediatric palliative care, supported by the Rita K. Hillman foundation, Panich-Linsman said the following, which stuck with me:
This particular project gave me an opportunity to begin to understand what it is like for a family to support a critically ill child, and for a palliative-care team to support that family. Perhaps it is a way to face my own fears.

Looking forward I’m excited to see where Panich-Linsman’s work takes her, and have no doubt that she will continue to put women and immigrant stories in the forefront of her work.
