ERIKA STONE’s
documentary photographs reflects her long, active career as a photojournalist and magazine photographer. In the 40s, Stone was a member of the legendary Photo League, an organization of photo documentarians, which she feels most influenced her approach to her personal work.

Commercially, Erika was a stringer for both, Time and Der Spiegel Magazines and worked as a general photojournalist until 1960. After the birth of her two sons, she made photographing children and family her speciality. Her photographs of family have been published in publications around the world.
