About the Photographer

Marianne Pernold Young, shown here in a self-portrait, was born in Austria and immigrated to the US when she was 10. She was a freelance photojournalist in Washington, DC in the ‘70s and chronicled the campaign of President Jimmy Carter. She attended a summer workshop in 1973 with photographer Ansel Adams in Yosemite National Park and the following year was invited to return as the workshop / student liaison.

Marianne has abandoned the celebrity and news scene in favor of the changing moods of the seacoast. She specializes in portrait, scenic and artistic photography and is equally skilled in both color and black and white mediums. Her work is often exhibited
locally and has included the collections: Portraits of Notables and Quotables of Portsmouth ('88), Family-Owned Businesses in Portsmouth ('92) , a collection of women retailers in Portsmouth ('00), They Remain to Fish, a collection of fisherman from the Portsmouth Fish Co-op ('01), and From Farm to Market ('06). For the past three years Marianne has been the official photographer for the NHSPCA’s fundraiser, Pets and their Families.

Ms. Pernold Young's work has appeared in several national and local publications, and she has been widely recognized for her work. She lives in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with her husband Gordon. To see more of Marianne’s work go to www.pernoldphoto.com.
