Jaclyn Licht

Jaclyn Licht is a freelance photographer based in Brooklyn, NY. She is drawn to uncovering moments of spontaneity on the street, in governmental institutions, and everywhere in between.

From 2017-2021, she served as the Communications Officer for the UK Mission to the United Nations. As principal photographer, she photographed the Security Council, ministerial visits, special events, and day-to-day diplomacy at UN Headquarters.

Additionally, she is a member of the New York City Street Photography Collective, and was named one of the “11 Best Street Photographers in New York City” by an overly kind writer at peerspace.com.

Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, Le Temps, and official UK Government and Royal Family social media.

Jaclyn graduated from the Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism program at the International Center of Photography in 2022. She also graduated from Brown University with a BA in English and Public Policy.

In line with her recent project, Unveiling Diplomacy, she is now pursuing assignments that illuminate how high-level political decisions impact civil society.
