About
Adrianne Mathiowetz is a Boston-based documentarian and portrait photographer who has always located her memories in rooms. She’s documented almost every home she’s had — from her second childhood house (during a move at age nine she picked up a small piece of Play-Doh impressed on the kitchen floor, so she could take a piece of the house with her), to every dorm room and sublet or leased apartment she’s lived in since. She began photographing her living spaces when she got her first digital camera at age 19, and still loves looking at those images as a way of transporting her to that sophomore year in college. She published the first Home Portraiture book in 2015 for family, after her grandmother was moved from her longtime home into hospice care.

Adrianne is a photo graduate from The Salt Institute of Documentary Studies, and her work has appeared in The New York Times, Wired, The Guardian, and the Star Tribune amongst others. She is the Photo Director for local magazines Scout Somerville and Scout Cambridge.
Adrianne has moved 22 times in her life between Minneapolis/St. Paul, upstate New York, the Boston area, all over Brooklyn, Portland (Maine), and brief stints in Venice and Tel Aviv. She currently lives in Medford with her husband, son, and their two cats in a little 2 bedroom bungalow that she thinks might be the most beautiful house in the world.
