Beckman started her career photographing the punk scene in England then in New York during the 70s and 80s. Her love of the city’s energy and atmosphere caused her move to New York in 1982.

Now here is a good example of a person to be admired. Ms Janette Beckman a prime example of a person who no doubt enjoys what she does and is still doing it today. More than often i respect and admire people who never stray away from what they want to to and especially if they are still doing it today. Ms Beckman you go girl!
