biography
As a child, her parents worked on the grounds of a monastery where she grew up with her two sisters. She and her siblings "were obliged to take part in festivals and processions. It was a mysterious environment - something from Fellini - full of symbolism, rituals, beauty and also a disturbing kind of surreal images."
Tenneson received her Masters in Photography from George Washington University . At 39, she gave up her profession as a professor of photography and moved from Washington to New York. Tenneson mainly shoots with the Polaroid 20x24 camera . In an interview with a photo magazine, Tenneson advised other artists: "I firmly believe that if you go back to your roots, you can create something that represents you - like your thumbprint. It will have your style because nobody likes it gives you. "
Her work has been featured in more than 100 exhibitions around the world. Tenneson has had covers on several magazines including Time , Life , Entertainment Weekly , Newsweek , Premiere, Esquire and The New York Times Magazine .
