Helen K. Garber began her career as an editorial portrait photographer, with images published in numerous books and journals, including The New York Times. 

Prints from her Noir folios can be found in the Getty Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of the City of New York, the George Eastman Museum, Portland Museum of Art, Worcester Museum, the archives of the Venice Biennale, and IMMA Dublin. The work has been exhibited and reproduced internationally with her 40-foot-long, 360-degree panorama, A Night View of Los Angeles, exhibited at the Venice Biennale of Architecture and at the front entrance of Photo LA, Santa Monica, CA. 

Urban Noir: LA/NY is her 17-minute projection combining her noir images of LA and NY with captions from pulp fiction and a soundtrack composed and performed by Grammy winner, John Beasley.  It was presented with live music as the 7th lecture of the Annenberg Center of Photography in Beverly Hills.  It was also projected at the Oscar Noir festival for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and is in their permanent archives. 

She has taught night photography workshops at Otis College of Art and Design, Photo LA, and the Skirball Center. 

Helen lives with her husband, three horses, and five dogs at their Rancho de Sueños in Santa Fe. Her present mixed media work is represented by Grace Gallery, Santa Fe.
