Jean Granick's interest in photography began as a young girl. She studied photography as an undergraduate and later at both the Massachusetts College of Art and the New England School of Photography. Her work has been shown locally and in New York, is in private collections and she has done Film stills, documentary and editorial work. She holds a Bachelors of Arts in Art History from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, a Masters of Science from Columbia University's School of Social Work, and a MS from Simmons College with a special interest in archival photography. She currently resides in Cambridge and works in the Boston area.

Taking photographs has always been something that has given me great pleasure. My archives of photographs, dating back to those taken at age 7 with my first camera, are of the usual: friends, family, rights of passage, vacations and an extensive collection of objects and landscapes. In 2002 my discovery of the nine lens photo camera by Lomography Pop 9 fueled my desire to continue to shoot new images. One single frame produces 9 identical images on one print. I found the camera addictive and went in search of new possibilities.

Somehow one single image has not always satisfied me as an end result. By combining single photographs with other images and/or uniting multiple Pop 9 photos, I seek to transform the image environment by creating a new image out of a group of photographs. The end result, to take the ordinariness of a single image and to create a new pattern. This offers the viewer an alternate way of seeing.
