Early life and education

[edit]

Newell was born and grew up in Kimball, Nebraska, USA. She received her education from Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. By the age of 6, she was an accomplished horseback rider, and won various pole and barrel racing competitions.[10] Her father was a large animal veterinarian.[11][7]

Work

[edit]

After completing her education, as a photographer, she pursued a career in commercial photography, specializing in photographing children and animals for advertising and corporate clients. She owns a studio Lennette Newell Photography, where she has photographed ads for brands like Milk-Bone, Blue Buffalo, Iams, Eukanuba, and Meow Mix.[12][7][13]

Her works have received recognition from the American Photographic Artists National Awards, the 200 Best Ad Photographers, and the Lucie Awards.

Lennette Newell co-authored a book named Welcome to the World, published by Kids Can Press in 2011,[14] followed by publishing her another photography book named Ani-Human by Blurb in 2016.[15]

Ani-Human series

[edit]

She is known for her Ani-Human series of portraits, where she combines orchestrates single captures and composite images of wild animals with humans in body paint together without a spatial barrier.[16][17] Her themed photography Ani-Human integrates humans and animals. The series portrays the certainty that a tranquil co-inhabitance can exist, and therefore the possibility that it could propagate. She turns her human subjects into representations of animals such as Baboons, zebras, lions, cheetahs, monkeys using body paint and makeup.[18] It had received numerous international awards in 2011.[19] She was featured in an episode of Travel Channel China for her Ani-Human series in 2016.[20]
