À propos

Bonnie Jaffe is a native Rhode Islander and has lived in the state her entire life. Bonnie credits her dad, Murray Perlman, for introducing her to the excitement of photography when he gave her her first Brownie camera at age 7. She later graduated to his Bessler Topcon Super D 35mm camera, and developed film and printed pictures in their basement darkroom. She was inspired early in life to capture moments of time on film. In high school, Bonnie began her formal study of photography, which continued at the Rhode Island School of Design from which she graduated in 1978, earning a BFA. Bonnie then worked as a freelance photographer and then became a commercial producer/writer for the next 15 years.
Bonnie’s particular focus is on capturing people at work and at play, but enjoys all facets of the art. She shares her passion for photography with her husband, Marc, a Rhode Island Obstetrician/Gynecologist. Bonnie is proud to have won several awards for her work.
