Angela Wieland’s photography is portrait and documentary based. Her work vacillates between collaborative and candid, allowing for spontaneity and illuminating her fascination with how similar most people are, at their core, while being so dramatically different as to life choices and outward appearances. 

In making portraits, she aims to establish a rapport with her subjects, which allows an intimacy to be expressed. Basically the goal is to capture something real within the context of something put on; that is, combine the candid with the posed. Of course, composition is key, but ultimately, conveying character and emotion, something that speaks both of the subject and to the viewer, is paramount.

Her travel work features people within their native environment, exposing the similarities and differences found in other cultures and lands. 

Regardless of the situation, her eye, edge, and psychological savvy, teamed with her anticipation of events before they happen, enable her to shine whether capturing or creating a moment.

Her recent series specializes in making portraits of musicians and other interesting individuals with related written interviews.

She lives and works in New York City.
