Eleanor Preger

Eleanor Preger is a photographer from Lake Tahoe, NV, and Sausalito, CA. “I love to bring the beauty I see and the interesting experiences I run across to your eyes,” she says. “I want to tap into your emotions and make you say ‘Ahhh.'”

A member of the Burning Man Documentary team, Eleanor is a self-taught photographer fueled by a love of people and landscapes. It was her experiences at Burning Man, in the Black Rock Desert since 2011, that escalated her interest and skills in photography. She’s been published in many publications around the world, has won prizes, and has exhibited at museums, airports, galleries, and public events.

From the first time she attended Burning Man 12 years ago, she saw the potential in photographing the art installations, the people, and the incredible landscape. The opportunity to photograph stunning sunrises and sunsets alongside beautiful art and people leaves her with little sleep — but with the most satisfying photographs.

Jerry Snyder

The Midnight Museum is a love letter to Burning Man art and artists. This show is a selection from the 2025 installation, which featured 155 faux stained-glass panels depicting canonical pieces from past Burning Man events. The project is also an assertion that the tradition of Burning Man art is an interesting and bold artistic movement in its own right, one that critics and art historians should take as seriously as the notable art movements of the 20th century.
