Born with an intrinsic preoccupation for the unknown and adventure, photographer Linka A Odom passed many days while growing up, creek walking in her suburban Dallas, Texas neighborhood. Linka earned a B.F.A in Photography from N.Y.U.’s, Tisch School of the Arts in 1997. In December 2012 she earned a M.A. in Photojournalism & Documentary Photography from Univ. of Arts London. Her M.A. thesis took her to eight countries and was partly funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign. In July 2012, Linka won a Getty Images Creative Grant, utilizing a distinctive technique she developed over many years to showcase her photography using multi-media materials. Linka’s extensive catalog crosses many genres of photography. She is uniquely interested in the methods we use to view imagery and in generating new techniques for presenting photography. Ms. Odom has had numerous exhibitions, as well as been recognized by the Santa Fe Photo Workshops, Getty Images, APA/LA, WIPI, Smithsonian Magazine and Burn Magazine.
