Jodi Bieber, South Africa, is a photographer. She studied at the Market Photography workshop and her professional career began at The Star newspaper in Johannesburg in 1993. Bieber was a participant in the 1996 Joop Swart Masterclass, which for her proved a turning point. Assignments for such publications as The New York Times Magazine followed.

Her most recent book, Soweto, a portrait of Soweto today, was published in 2010.

Bieber's first solo exhibition was at Visa pour l'Image in 2002, and she has since exhibited widely around the world.

At present, her life moves between the editorial and gallery worlds. Bieber has won ten World Press Photo awards, including the 2010 World Press Photo of the Year.
