Hello! I’m Norah, a Boston/Chicago photographer with just under ten years of experience. I have worked as a photography intern, second photographer, main photographer, and salesperson for a camera store. I have gained extensive knowledge of studio equipment and lab work during my time at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I specialize in portraits, ranging from wedding candid to staged studio images. Through my time running a darkroom in my hometown and my experience at UCLA’s summer intensive, I also am very well-versed in film photography. My practice is heavily inspired by former photographers such as Francesca Woodman and Alex Stoddard who send a strong message through surrealism and grittiness. Working in a medium/art form where women are expected to be in front of the camera rather than behind, I bring a strong passion for feminism to my personal work; through performance and theatrics, I aim to provide a narrative in a single image or series of images to highlight social issues or to emphasize the subject’s identity.

If you are interested in working with me or have any questions, please reach out below!
