Administrative/Biographical Note

Edwin Remsberg is a professional photographer based in Maryland making documentary images in the photojournalism tradition. He received a B.S. in photojournalism from the University of Maryland, College Park. Remsberg's career began as an intern at the Baltimore News American newspaper in 1985. He was a staff photographer for The Baltimore Sun from 1986-1989 before shifting to freelance photography, shooting pictures for magazines and corporate clients. Remsberg's photographs appear regularly in regional and national magazines. In 1987 his photograph of the Amtrak disaster at Chase, Maryland was chosen by Life magazine for their "Pictures of the Year" issue and was later reprinted in Life's "Pictures of the Decade." He founded and directs the company Edwin Remsberg Photographs, which consists of photographers Edwin Remsberg and Lena McBean.
