Sharon H. Chang

I am a photographer who believes visual storytelling has the power to move hearts and minds and change the world. My work centers BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) especially womxn and femmes, gender diverse peoples, youth, and family. I specialize in social justice, community, documentary, and event photography. My style is candid and photojournalistic. My current long-term project is a series portraying Womxn and Nonbinary Farmers of Color in Washington state, funded in part by the 2019 Northwest Journalists of Color Visual Storytelling Grant. If you would like to work together, please contact me for rates and bookings.
