Elijah Solomon Hurwitz is an independent documentary photographer and lifelong traveler based in Los Angeles. He enjoys investigating stories, getting lost on backroads, and making pictures that focus attention, however fleetingly, on issues of human consequence. He has a borderline obsession with the state of Vermont. He is uncomfortable writing in third person.
My images and stories have been featured by:
The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, WIRED, The Atlantic, TIME, Smithsonian Magazine, VICE, Mother Jones, The New Yorker, Politico Magazine, Huck Magazine, Pacific Standard, The Telegraph UK, Internazionale, Burn Magazine, Feature Shoot, and Humble Arts.
I've also completed assignments for The Intercept, United Nations Development Programme, UCLA Magazine, USC Gould School of Law, The Thacher School, and Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences.
I'm available for editorial, reportage, environmental portrait, and news assignments in the US and internationally.
