MARANIE RAE

I am a Pittsburgh based photographer and photojournalist My work is
an observation of the world as I see and experience it with an
intent to uncover and communicate stories of people, places and issues
that are un or under-covered by popular media. I strive to
pull the humanity out of every situation whether documenting friends
or working with organizations in Pittsburgh and abroad. The
combination of images and words has the capacity and the potential to
inform, inspire and move to action. As a photographer, I
believe that it is my job to help fulfill this potential. As such, images
have become my primary means of expression - of
communicating what I see, experience, and believe. These prints are a
selection from her growing body of work documenting the city
that I love and will always call home.
