Steffanie Halley

With this post we are proud to introduce another collaborator of Mother F Stop, Steffanie Halley. She has an array of work from fine art to fashion and commercial. Her photographs encompass the presence of a southern air while exhibiting calm and natural but elegant aspects. Below you can find information and works.

Steffanie Halley is a fine art and freelance photographer. Originally born and raised in Woodward, OK, she spent most of the passed decade based out of Savannah, GA, where she earned her MFA in Photography from Savannah College of Art & Design and where she fell in love with deep south. She began the new year of 2012 back in her home state of Oklahoma, raising her new to the world daughter, Everly Ann Muse. Steffanie has participated in several reviews, including: Review Santa Fe, Photo Nola, Project 5, Atlanta Celebrates Photography, and Photo Lucida. Steffanie has had the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant at the Maine Media Workshops, as a volunteer at Foto Fest, and as a Professor at the Art Institute of Charleston. She participates in gallery shows across the nation, and her work frequently appears in a variety of publications.

Below are a few words from her.

Behind silence, subtle tensions arise and chaos pushes through the cracks. In photographing, I am observing and bearing witness to life; my own and others. I document and capture this self-exploration, drawing inspiration and insight from the process. I am intrigued by the indulgence of our imaginations as well as physical surroundings, and the relationships that exist in both worlds. The images provide a glimpse of the elevated awareness I have always felt and a quirky seductiveness emanating from an innate connection with the natural world. My images represent fleeting moments of calmness and quiet intensity. Although my work represents a personal and intimate experience of an individual artist, the emotions brought forth here are very much universal. By being vulnerable to imagination and memory, we are sharing the experience.
