Stacey Pearson

I am a freelance photographer based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, always searching for a unique angle on the world around me. When I frame an image, I hope to seize upon those fleeting transcendent moments when raw emotions become visible. Whether fine art or street photography shot in black-and-white, color, or film, my best photographs are the ones that capture the intangible essence of life that can’t be put into words. I most often use a monochrome-dedicated manual focus Leica camera that gives my work a little blur and movement—visceral, sensory compositions that tell a story and reflect life’s speed and imperfections.

In conjunction with my work, I founded The Pelican Project, which supports national child protection programming with a special focus on missing, abducted, exploited, homeless, and emergency-fostered children and young people in Louisiana. I fund the project through outside donations and sales of my photography, turning two of my passions into actionable philanthropy.
