About:
Emily was born in New York City to an auditorium full of nursing students and grew up in Houston, Texas. Her original style connects her diverse portfolio, mixing vibrant color and personality with strong conceptual storytelling. Whether shooting portraits of well-known celebrities and athletes, global campaigns, or personal projects, Emily’s work celebrates unique characters and a singular point of view. She was selected as a winner in the Art Director's Club Young Guns competition early in her career, and her images have since been published in various collections including Milk and Honey: Contemporary Art in California, Photographers' Sketchbooks, and eight editions of American Photography. In 2017 Emily's first monograph, Super Extra Natural!, was published, chronicling twelve years of happy wanderings in Japan. Her work has been exhibited at London’s National Portrait Gallery, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Hirshhorn Museum, International Center of Photography, and is held in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art. Emily currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their dog Momo.
