Raised on a dairy farm in Vermont, Heather McClintock received her BA in photography from New England College in New Hampshire, and Arundel, England, then relocated to New York City to work in prestigious commercial studios. A growing discontent with studio work, along with a desire to pursue humanitarian relief work led to her involvement with documentary photography. Heather first visited northern Uganda in 2005, where she focused on the strength and grace of the Acholi people, ravaged by both mental and physical cruelties resulting from a brutal twenty-year civil war. She returned in 2007. Her Uganda work garnered several awards, including the 2006 Center for Photographic Art Artist Project Award and her partnership with Blue Earth Alliance.
Heather McClintock received her photography degree from the New England college in NH, and relocated to New York City. Seeking a deeper connection to humanity by documenting humanitarian work, her passion for recording human condition was fulfilled in Northern Uganda.
She focused on the Acholi people, proud and resilient, but brutalized by the 20 years of horrific civil war. The Acholi children in particular have endured traumatizing treatment, and are in dire need for assistance. Hopefully Heather's photographs have and will resonate with as many people as possible to make the Acholi's lives better.
Her work in Uganda has earned Heather well deserved recognition through numerous awards and publications.
