Sarah Palmer is a photographer based in Toronto, Canada. Her work straddles the realm of journalism and fine art, questioning the conventional limits that both of these worlds hold for the viewer and artist alike. She explores pop culture and current events with a focus on the subcultures that these gatherings draw in.
She composes multi-frame exposures in camera, with no manipulation in post. By building layers of stories on the same piece of film, she creates a strong sense of environment while weaving together contrasts and similarities in the subject matter she's photographing.
Clients include The Washington Post, Fortune Magazine, Vox, The Globe and Mail, Buzzfeed News, Refinery29, The Walrus and Maclean's among others.
She is a National Magazine Awards winner, Magenta Flash Forward and American Photography winner. Her work was included in TIME's Top 100 Photos of 2019, and has been generously supported by the Ontario Arts Council. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and exhibitions internationally including Scotiabank’s Contact Photography Festival and Gallery TPW.
She's also a Photo Editor and Creative Producer. See that portfolio here
