Stephanie Keith Photography

Originally trained as a painter and Anthropologist at Stanford University, I began my photography career after attending the International Center of Photography and New York University.

I have been documenting Occupy Wall Street since last September. My photos from Occupy have been published by ABC News, CBS News, the Guardian, the Atlantic, NPR, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Time, among others.

In Egypt, I photographed television soap operas during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This work was published in the New York Times “Week in Review”, published internationally and exhibited as a solo show at the American University in Cairo.

My subsequent documentaries focused on religious subjects like the Christian Evangelical teen scene and Muslim topics in immigrant communities in the US. The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, Time magazine and the Christian Science Monitor have published my photo stories about religion.

My work on the Haitian American Vodou community in Brooklyn has been shown in the Brooklyn Public Library, the Caribbean Cultural Center and the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, produced as an audio slide show by the “Speaking in Faith” radio program by American Public media, and published as a photo book “Vodou Brooklyn: Five Ceremonies with Mambo Marie Carmel” by the Caribbean Studies Press.
