September Bottoms
Los Angeles, CA, USA
I am a self taught documentary photographer currently based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I just moved back to my home state after being away for twenty one years to focus on my roots. I primarily focus on women's issues, social issues and documenting my own family to better understand the effects of intergenerational trauma. I gravitate towards projects that blossom from a connection with certain characters and then figure out how their stories fit into a larger context.
I am currently working under a full scholarship for the Advanced Mentorship Program with James Estrin, co-creator of NYT Lens Blog & Ed Kashi, member of Vii Photo.
Clients include TIME, New York Times Magazine, the New York Times, ESPN, CNN & Bloomberg Businessweek among others.
Feel free to contact me with any assignments.
