BIOGRAPHY
Savannah Gonzalez began her photography practice as a teen. She landed her first group exhibition at the Westport Museum of Contemporary Art in Connecticut at 18 years old (where she also sold her first photograph). She spent a summer in New York City attending The Cooper Union’s Summer Art Intensive for highschoolers. She also attended Global Leadership Adventures' month long Photojournalism and volunteer program in Dharamshala, India. Two weeks after her return from Asia she went to the Washington Journalism and Media Conference at George Mason University to learn more about photojournalism. In 2019, Savannah was accepted into Tisch School of the Arts at New York University and graduated in 2023 with a BFA in Photography and Imaging. While at NYU she documented New York City's first capital climate projects and the effects on urban plant life. As a new graduate, she began working for photographer Sylvia Plachy and interned for art director and book-designer Ruth Ansel. Now, at 25 years old, Savannah volunteers for NGOs such as National Day Laborers Organizing Network and Healing the Children Northeast, covering the immigration crisis in America and international dental care for children, respectively. She also works as a studio assistant for Classic Kids in Greenwich, CT and is developing her fine art photography for private collectors and galleries.
