SAVANNAH GONZALEZ PHOTOGRAPHY
Savannah Gonzalez began her practice as a photographer as a teen. She landed her first group exhibition at the Westport, CT Museum of Contemporary Art at 18 years old where she also sold her first photograph. Beforehand, she attended The Cooper Union’s Summer Art Intensive for highschoolers and spent a summer in New York City. She traveled to India for a month with Global Leadership Adventures and attended their Photojournalism and volunteer program. 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 she was accepted into Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. While at NYU she produced multiple documentary projects and continued to travel the world. In May of 2023 she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and Imaging. During her first summer as a graduate she worked with iconic photographer Sylvia Plachy and interned for legendary art director and book-designer Ruth Ansel. Savannah Gonzalez currently lives in Manhattan where she is beginning her career as a photojournalist and freelance photographer.
Artist statement
Love, pain, beauty, soul. These are themes that I focus on when photographing humanity in daily life. As a photographer I seek to understand the landscape of human life and relationships between people, animals, and the planet. My pursuit to find myself in others’ ways of life and show my audience that there are more ways to live than just one comes from my unbreakable desire to find fresh, new perspectives, especially through traveling. Photography is my most empowering tool. With photography my goal is to build bridges over divides between people and places in order to make the world a more peaceful and respectful place. My practice begins in my heart. And I hope it inspires yours – to consider the vast and gorgeous world that we are gifted to inhabit and all of the lives we share it with, embracing how different or similar they are, with gratitude and respect, everyday.
