Keri Pickett
Keri Pickett (born in 1959, Charleston, S.C.) is an award-winning American photographer, author and filmmaker whose work explores love, family and community. Pickett’s work "pulls subjects from the edges of public awareness to the center of the frame".〔 Pickett was first exposed to photography as a child through her figure-skater/photographer uncle Roy Blakey and years later, as an adult, she made a film about his life. Pickett discovered her own love of photography in college and graduated with a B.A. degree in photography from Moorhead State University in Minnesota with minors in Art History and Women's Studies. After graduation in 1983, Pickett moved in with her photographer uncle Roy Blakey in New York for a short time while starting an internship under the direction of American photographer Fred W. McDarrah at Village Voice. In 1987, after Pickett was diagnosed with Burkett's lymphoma, a rare cancer characterized by the rapid growth of tumors in the body, she left New York and returned to her home in Minnesota to begin chemotherapy. During the two years of Pickett’s treatment, she concentrated on her photographic work: Kids Coping with Life-Threatening Illness. Where once she had thought she was too young to die, Pickett's paradigm shifted as she photographed and became friends with children in the hospital who were dying of cancer. Pickett says, "When I was on chemotherapy I was so upbeat and positive that this started coming out in my pictures. I was a positive example to people. I started taking photos of kids with life-threatening illnesses, and my work switched....I starting putting more of myself into the work."〔

B.B. and Jo, The Story of a Lifelong Love, A Granddaughter's Portrait", black-and-white photographs of her grandparents that she created when they were in their 90s, interwoven with the love and courtship letters they wrote to each other beginning in 1928, which won the American Photography Book Award for 1995.

In 2000, Keri Pickett’s Lambda Literary Award-winning book ''Faeries'', published by Aperture Books with a forward by James Broughton, records the life and personality of gay men who self-identify as Radical Faeries and gather every summer off-the-grid in a celebration of identity. Begun in 1994, the project was shot over six years at an annual ten-day meeting in the northern Minnesota sanctuary called (Kawashaway ).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Keri Pickett )〕 Pickett says that she is "someone who honors and celebrates the unique mix of masculine and feminine in everybody".
Pickett's third book published in 2004, "Saving Body & Soul: The Mission of Mary Jo Copeland" uses her photography paired with essays and writings by Margaret Nelson to illuminate the story of Mary Jo Copeland, a housewife and mother of twelve who has overcome remarkable odds in her quest to serve the poor and homeless.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Saving Body & Soul )〕
