Eleanor Moseman is a photographer, human rights advocate, and adventurer who uses her camera to amplify social and cultural narratives involving women and persecuted groups. From 2008-2020, Eleanor was based in China and focused on Tibetans and the Uyghurs. She has continued her work, whether among the diasporas in the United States or India. She is now based in Bend, Oregon.

Eleanor's photography has been published in The Guardian, PBS NewsHour, The Atlantic, Nikon: Learn & Explore, The LA Times, Bust, Zeke Magazine, Forbes Life (China), and other international publications. In 2020, her work was exhibited at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C., the Rose-Hulman Institute, and the British Museum in London. Her photography and first-hand knowledge contribute to the research of anthropologists, historians, and conservationists.

Eleanor has been studying the Tibetan language since 2020 and volunteers under an alias for a Tibetan publication. Last year, she participated in the prestigious Missouri Photojournalism 75th Workshop, a storytelling workshop with Ed Kashi and PhotoVoice.

Exploration of Asia began with a two-year, 15,000-mile solo bicycling tour around China, Tibet, and Central Asia that ended in 2012. This adventure was the catalyst that moved her towards a career in photojournalism, and she embarked upon many more intrepid solo adventures. These journeys into remote regions of Asia brought her closer to the people, culture, and pressing social issues that need to be documented by someone who can fully immerse herself.

She shares her love for independent travel in the mountains by encouraging young women to explore and play sports. During the summer of 2024, she led a mountain bike workshop in Ladakh, India, and is working on a short documentary about young Muslim women exploring mountains.
