BIO:
Sydney Claire is a New York–based fashion and editorial photographer whose work vibrantly melds artistry, authenticity, and a radiant embrace of diversity. A graduate of Lesley College of Art & Design with a B.F.A., she honed her eye for color, light, and composition early, then set out to push conventional boundaries and expectations in visual storytelling.
Her lens seeks more than beautiful imagery — it seeks meaning. Sydney’s passion lies in capturing the full spectrum of the human experience: identities, intersections, cultures, backgrounds. She strives always to make her subjects seen and heard, without exoticization or simplification.
Known both as an artist and entrepreneur, she challenges norms — whether in style, narrative, or representation — and explores what it means to create work that matters.
You can find her speaking and contributing on topics like diversity in fashion, creative ethics, and what it means to use photography as a tool for change.
