Samantha Box
Photographer
Since 2005, Samantha Box has dedicated herself to documenting New York City’s community of homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) youth.
Her project, INVISIBLE, has been recognized by the Anthropographia Award for Photography and Human Rights, EN FOCO, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. It has been widely exhibited, most notably in 2010 at The Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy, NY, and in 2011 as part of the Open Society Institute’s “Moving Walls #18” exhibition. INVISIBLE is fiscally sponsored by the Blue Earth Alliance; images from this project are part of EN FOCO’s permanent collection.
Samantha's photography has been featured on The Raw File, 100eyes Magazine, and Time Magazine's LightBox blog, and published in Curve Magazine.
She was born in Kingston, Jamaica, was raised in Edison, New Jersey and is now based in Brooklyn, New York.
