Other artists he’s worked with include Carly Simon, Bruce Springsteen, and The Boston Symphony. Jade Doskow (‘08) New York-based architectural and landscape photographer Jade Doskow is known for her rigorously composed and eerily poetic images that examine the intersection of people, architecture, nature, and time.

She is the subject of the 2021 documentary Jade Doskow: Photographer of Lost Utopias; the film’s New York premiere was held at the International Center of Photography in October 2021 and has also screened at the Asheville Museum of Art and in multiple film festivals. Doskow was one of 50 women featured in the award-winning 2018 publication 50 Contemporary Women Artists from 1960 to the Present.

Doskow is on the faculty of the International Center of Photography and the City University of New York. She is represented by Tracey Morgan Gallery in Asheville, NC.
