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, Gonzalez 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 capital climate projects and urban plant life. During her first summer as a graduate Gonzalez worked for photographer Sylvia Plachy and interned for art director and book-designer Ruth Ansel. For the last two years Gonzalez has been volunteering for NGOs such as National Day Laborers Organizing Network and Healing the Children Northeast, covering the immigration crisis in America and child dental care in Africa's largest slum, Kibera. Currently, Gonzalez is working at a photography studio in Greenwich, CT and is developing her body of work for private collectors and galleries.
