While she may call Chicago home, writer/photographer Jenn Winter is happiest when living out of her suitcase. Young, unattached and (not so) patiently awaiting her next adventure, she and her dog, Essie, run J. Winter Photography out of her studio apartment. While weddings and event shoots might pay the bills, Jenn’s true passion is the marriage of travel writing and photography and she aspires to use these two mediums to tell the stories of the people and places she has had the pleasure to meet. A self-proclaimed adventurer, recycler and Bears fan, Jenn is constantly in search of new faces to photograph, new mountains to climb and new stories to tell.
Please like, follow or just stop by from time to time to see what Jenn’s up to!

Dear Jenn at jennwinter.com,
We would love you to consider a link exchange.
My partner Danielle and I are currently traveling to nearly every country in Africa (we are writing now from Dakar, Senegal) meeting with farmers, workers, NGO’s and community groups writing about innovations and projects that our working to alliviate hunger and poverty. We travel blog everyday at BorderJumpers (www.borderjumpers.org). We are trying to highlight stories of hope and success.
Thanks so much for your consideration!
All the best, Bernie and Dani
Hi Bernard!
What an interesting project! I’ll be following your work and would be happy to highlight your findings, especially in East Africa. Please let me know if you need any introductions in Kenya, I’m sure Irene from VICDA would be happy to meet with you.
Looking forward to hearing more!
Jenn
Jenn,
Just caught your article in the New Trier magazine and basically saw into my future. You are literally on the exact path I’d like to venture; you’re just a couple years ahead of me, it seems. I would love to chat with you via email, phone or over coffee to bounce ideas and absorb as much as possible from you. I graduated from Columbia College this past December with a BA in photography and my ultimate goal would be to incorporate my passion of documentary photography with humanitarian/activist work. I have always, always been interested in non-profits in conjunction with African communities and can’t believe you’re literally doing what I have always wanted to do myself. Would love to hear your secrets and get re-inspired again.
Thanks!
Emily Drumm
Hi Emily,
I’m glad that you enjoyed the article and that you are interested in this type of work. I’d be happy to talk about my experiences and offer advice. Email is the best way to get a hold of me, jenn@jwinterphoto.com. I hope to hear from you!

So far humanitarian aid had brought me places. I have not been doing it for a long time due to the current situation with family. I cannot be happier to meet someone on the net with the same passion. I never write about my experience though, partly because natural disasters and camera seemed to be antagonistic (at least to me) and stories without pictures just would not be easy to be told. I love what you have done. I am looking forward to reading more of your missions soon.
