Linda Obuchoska - OBSCURA

​

Linda Obuchoska was seduced by the wildness of Fellini, 

Italian Vogue, Max Beckmann, Science Fiction 

and Russian Constructivism.

​

She was born in Brooklyn, New York.

Accepted at Art & Design High School, New York.

A graduate of Pratt Institute New York, Graphic Design degree.

She worked briefly at the trendsetting “Fiorucci” in NYC.

Art director and graphic designer for the 

promotional department at the “Soho News” NYC.

 

Linda Obuchoska’s photography series called 

“Mannequins-Out On A Limb” and “Religiousness”

caught the eye of collectors, curators and gallerists.

 

In 2001 the horrific events of 9/11 marked a dramatic

shift in her photography career and she decided to shift her focus to 

photojournalism.

​

Based at Nino’s Rescue Site near Ground Zero, 

she photographed the 9/11 Rescue Workers including Fire Fighters, 

Police women and men, Red Cross workers, Port Authority Police 

and people from all over the world who volunteered to help.

This series of photographs is in the permanent collection of 

New York State Museum Cultural Education Center, Albany, NY.

In 2002 she was hired by the NY Post and NY Daily News,

and her photographs have been featured in major publications 

and media around the world.

​

Films include:

 

”Andy Warhol’s Gossip” additional photography.

“Amazing Grace”, Miss Vera_2014.

“Where’s Jane”, Music Icon Jayne County, additional camera.

“Animals Matter / NYC City Hall”

 

 

Her latest body of work, “Senior Republican Cross Dressers

and Global Warming” is a fascinating look into the world 

of senior Republican heterosexual men who, late in life, 

discovered the world of cross-dressing while still maintaining 

their conservative political beliefs.
