Syd holds a deep reverence for the potential power of the photographic image. Her passion is telling stories of subcultures that are often ignored, misunderstood or shunned by society. She strives to communicate the visceral moments of what is ultimately a shared human experience. Syd was inspired by her grandfather, who was a photographer. She is sensitive to the necessary nuances essential to crafting a potent image. Interestingly enough, while studying industrial design at Pratt Institute her career in photography started taking off.
Currently, Syd is developing an exhibition for the Invisible Project in alliance with The Connecticut Pain Foundation. The Invisible Project will be showing in Manhattan and Connecticut in September 2010. She is also working as a regular assignment photographer for Time Out NY and continuing to photograph independently. Syd has been published in Time Out NY, The Village Voice, AOL’s Spinner.com, The Leslie/Lohman’s Gay Art Foundation’s Archive, Ourchart and The Queerist to name a few. She was the featured artist in Judged For Sex at Hi Christina! in Williamsburg, Brooklyn during June 2009. She currently resides in Brooklyn NY.

"Everything in the world must be shown and people around the world must have an idea of what's happening to the other people around the world. I believe this is a function of the vector that the documentary photographer must have, to show one person's existence to another." — Sebastião Salgado
