Seeker:  An Extraordinary Photographic Odyssey in the Holy Lands is a new monograph by Amie Potsic featuring photographs of stunning visual delight created on the artist’s year-long solo photographic odyssey in India and Israel at the age of 23 in 1995.  Defying the stereotype of the heroic male photographer, Potsic traversed the Negev Desert and scaled the Himalayas with her Hasselbald camera and over 100 rolls of film. Through a female gaze, she documented visual splendor, human dignity, and the role of women in their communities. Her lens revealed a multifaceted experience of the depth of ritual and resilience of tradition in the eastern and western Holylands.

“Finding myself alone in India with just a backpack, my Hasselblad camera, and 100+ rolls of film, I was terrified yet certain. This was no accident. Despite my well-intended plans, the universe had something bigger and better in mind.”

- Amie Potsic

The monograph features an introduction written by Stephen Perloff, Founder and Editor of The Photo Review.
