About
Annie Tritt seeks to create work that facilitates connection both internal and external transformation. Formerly a public school teacher and stay at home parent, Annie began their career in photojournalism in 2006 and has worked around the world since then.

Annie’s long-term project, ‘Transcending Self,’ brings visibility to the complex issues facing transgender and nonbinary youth. Nearly half of transgender youth will attempt suicide before their 20th birthday. Annie is committed to changing this statistic. Using photography as a narrative medium, the project challenges existing notions on identity, gender, and selfhood. In 2019, the project received a Women Photograph grant, Photolucida’s Michael Reichmann Project grant, was accepted into Critical mass top 50 and was a Catchlight Fellowship finalist.

Annie’s clients include The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Billboard, The Guardian, Huck, Telegraph, Smithsonian and Der Spiegel.

Written articles include VOX, HUCK and TRIX. 

Annie received awards from American Photo and Communication Arts, was featured on Facebook Community Voices, and named by Artsy as one of 20 artists to follow who are making a difference, and included by Milk Studio as one of five photographers documenting change. Annie was a semi-finalist for the 2018 Anja Niedringhaus Courage in Photojournalism Award.
