Ellen Harasimowicz began her career in documentary photography, working primarily for the Boston Globe, and later specializing in education and NGO photography. Harasimowicz has produced award-winning children's books about nature with publishers Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Henry Holt, Millbrook, and Charlesbridge. Assignments and personal projects have taken Harasimowicz to more than thirty countries, including remote locations like Nagaland in Northeast India and the Andaman Sea in Myanmar, where she photographed various ethnic groups who live a subsistence lifestyle. During the pandemic, Harasimowicz stayed close to home and documented the end of a small family farm in Still River, Massachusetts with a nearly 350-year history. Currently, she is working on a project about apples with a local organic orchardist and a more extensive project about four women who own and operate multi-generational orchards in her hometown of Harvard, Massachusetts.
In 2022, Harasimowicz received her MFA in Photography from Maine Media College.
