Jeannette Montgomery Barron was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and studied at the International Center of Photography.
Barron first became well known for her portraits of the New York art world in the 1980s and later went on to create a collection of books each based on different aspects of her work. Some of the photographer’s books include Photographs and Poems in 1998, Mirrors in 2004, Session with Keith Haring in 2006, My Mother’s Clothes in 2010, Scene in 2013 and My Life in the 1980s New York Art Scene in 2014.
In 2016, the American Academy in Rome opened the exhibition, “A View of One’s Own: Three Women Photographers in Rome," which featured Barron’s work along with that of Esther Boise Van Deman and Georgina Masson.
Barron’s work can be found in numerous public and corporate collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Menil Collection in Houston, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Kunsthaus Zürich, Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia, the Archivio Fotografico, American Academy in Rome and the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
Barron has shown internationally at Galerie Bruno Bischofberger, Zurich; Scalo, New York and Zurich; Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta; and Magazzino D'Arte Moderna in Rome.
