Emily Steinberger (she/her) is a freelance photojournalist and photo editor based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, California. She has previously worked at The San Francisco Standard, The Daily Orange and the San Mateo Daily Journal, and her work has appeared in Reuters, CalMatters, AP and more.
As a visual storyteller, Emily's goal is to expand beyond the photograph and use different mediums — text, video, graphic design and more — to immerse viewers in the stories she tells. She became infatuated with climate justice after taking a course on the subject, and her work focuses on the environment and intersectional themes, such as climate change, food insecurity and public health. She is also a strong believer in the power of hyperlocal, solutions-oriented journalism. Emily received a B.S. in photojournalism and management from Syracuse University. In the moments when her camera is not in hand, Emily is usually listening to music on her record player, researching and analyzing the coins in her collection or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. Emily is currently available for assignment in the Bay Area and beyond. |
