Sydney Krantz (b. 1992) is an image maker, artist, and bug-lover. She lives and works between NJ & NYC. Krantz received a BFA in photography from Massachusetts College of Art + Design in 2014. She has been exhibited internationally, is a member of Women Photograph, an American Photography selected winner, has been shortlisted for Palm* Photo Prize (2020), published in Booooooom, Ignant, Humble Arts Foundation, and Oranbeg Press, among others, and has contributed to LA Times, New York Times, Business Insider, NBC, Pop Up Magazine, and more.
Krantz uses experimental photographic techniques to explore the unique sensory impressions that shape our perceptions. Drawing inspiration from the concept of ‘Umwelt’, which posits that every living being experiences the world in a distinct way, Krantz’s work examines how our individual sensory experiences influence our understanding. She achieves this through photography, a medium that, despite its inherent qualities of illusion and material transformation, still draws from the real world as a reference.
