MJ Newman

I started taking pictures in 2012 as a creative outlet, inspired by architecture, nature, the body, and the everyday happenings I find myself surrounded by. Due to the travel requirements of my career I found myself in over 50 countries in the last 20 years. I found so much beauty in the sights, sounds, smells, and people in the world around me I wanted to capture it in any way I could. This creative outlet has now grown into a small enterprise of love, MJ.N PHOTOGRAPHY. My company is jointly based in Sherman, Connecticut, at the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, and just across the Brooklyn Bridge in historic Brooklyn Heights, New York.

Though never formally trained in photography. I have taken a few photography classes throughout the years and have spent an extensive amount of time on self study, diving into the works of Donald Boyd, Kaxelsenfoto, Kim Jenssen, Carl Vanassche, Karen Waller, Steven Menendez, Cédric Roulliat, Tom Bianchi, and many others. 

Alongside my work as a photographer, I am working as head of Program Management for International Expansion within Commerce Platform for AWS. Managing a team of 12 Sr. Program Managers over 4 departments, we launch 10+ highly complex global product roll out programs end-to-end throughout APAC, EMEA, and AMS regions. 

Prior to AWS I was at Google/Youtube for a little over 15 years and worked across HR/Recruiting, Marketing, and Global Sales. During that time I also worked on several 20% projects with Employee Resource Groups, G2G Training, Non-profit outreach, and the diversity team with the intent of enriching Googlers work experiences and build the culture of our offices. I have lived on 5 continents and worked on 6.

I took a master's degree in International Politics from the University of Hull in the United Kingdom and a bachelor's degree in English Literature and French Language from John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio, The Université Laval, in Quebec City, Canada, and the Institute for American Universities in Aix-en-Provence, France.
