Séan Alonzo Harris

Séan Alonzo Harris (born 1968) is a professional editorial, commercial, and fine art photographer concentrating on narrative and environmental portraiture. Over the past 25 years, his work has been featured in a range of national publications such as The Atlantic, The Paris Review, and Mother Jones, as well as in advertising campaigns and exhibitions at venues such as the PMA and Colby College Museum of Art. In these varied contexts, his work focuses on human experience and identity and examines how individuals who are often overlooked in our communities visualize themselves and how they are portrayed.

He has received several awards and grants for his work including Good Idea Grant and Arts in the Capital Program, the Broderson Bronze Award, and the VanDerZee Black Heritage Award.
