about me
Profile: Diana Stork

Hi, I'm Diana Stork from Stonington CT United States

In college, I took photography classes, learning about composition, the technical aspects of photography, and developing my own photos in the college darkroom. I continued to enjoy taking photographs, although, for a number of years, these were mostly of important family events, quiet moments at home, and family travel.

I stayed active in photography, even as I pursued an academic career and multiple post career projects. Art projects included curating a New Artists Show at Gallery 71 in NYC and being lead author and editor of Lynn Shaler: Fine Prints 1972-2017. I worked closely with the artist and wrote several of the book’s sections, organized the images for the section, “Across the Decades,” and included a complete catalogue raisonné of her work. While in the project phase of my career, I also became a more serious photographer. Then and now, wherever I am, whatever I am doing, I take in everything around me, always looking for what moves me or piques my interest.

In my photographic work, I use both my “real” camera and my iPhone. Whether with an iPhone or a camera, I love translating aspects of the seen world into images. I hope that viewers of my photographs might see things a little differently, might appreciate what attracted my attention, and why I took a photo at that particular moment in time.
