Lucinda Weil Bunnen is a practicing photographer living in Atlanta, Georgia.

Bunnen, now 88 years old, began her photography career at the age of 40, when she and her family took a trip to Peru for her birthday and she discovered a love and a talent for the art form.  Since then she has been a prolific photographer, artist, collector and benefactor to the photography community in Atlanta and around the country. 

Bunnen’s work is the subject of six books to date.  Her seventh book, Gathered, will be published in August, 2018.  She co-authored three of the books:  Movers and Shakers in Georgia, published by Simon & Schuster in 1978; Scoring in Heaven, Gravestones and Cemetery Art in the American Sunbelt States, published by Aperture Foundation in 1990 and ALASKA Trail Tales and Eccentric Detours, published in 1992.

In 1999, she had a 30-year retrospective along with an award-winning catalog, entitled Trail, Tails and Transformation.  In 2011, Fall Line Press published Cuba.  Her book Humbled by 2-1/2 days in Haiti was published by Blurb in 2014.  Bunnen’s photographs were also the subject of the book Eight Photographs, Selections from Lucinda Bunnen’s “Movers and Shakers in Georgia” and an artistic pamphlet entitled (Dis) Similarities, Portraiture by Lucinda Bunnen.
