Stephanie O'Connor

Stephanie O'Connor was raised overseas, as the daughter of a diplomat, in Venezuela, Columbia and Pakistan. Her love for

art and specifically the photographic image was inspired by both her grandmothers' love for art and personal expression. She

pursed the arts throughout her childhood but began to focus on photography as her medium of choice during her high school

years in the United States. Thereafter, she refined her skills at the Savannah College of Art and Design, studied abroad in Italy

and received her Bachelors of Fine Arts in 2005. After her degree, she moved to New York City and worked full time with the

InStyle Magazine photography department while also regularly freelancing herself throughout New York City. At the end of 2006,

she traveled back to Pakistan, where she shot for several months independently and in the non profit sector. Since her brief stint

abroad, Stephanie has held various notable exhibitions in the USA as well as holding talks about her experiences. Her images of

Pakistan have been published nationally and abroad. Stephanie also possesses affection for teaching, and has been teaching

throughout her life when time has permitted. She continues to create in an attempt to share her vision for the world around her.

This passion to share the world, through her eyes, continues on in the hopes of reaching a multitude of people and places. She

currently resides in Washington, DC. Her portfolio and blog can both be seen online at the following sites.
