Emily Steinberger (she/her) is as a visual storyteller whose goal is to bring the viewer into a world that expands beyond what they see in the photograph. Her stories allow them to smell the scents, hear the sounds, touch the textures, feel the emotions — even if only in their imagination. Her work focuses on remembrance and memory woven into themes of family, religion, environment, nostalgia and tradition.
As Emily has developed as a visual storyteller, she has realized the power photographs have in transcending language barriers and literacy levels. She is passionate about mentoring young storytellers — especially those who have been systemically silenced — to help them tell their own stories. Her photos have been published in Reuters, CNN, Fox News, CalMatters and more. Her work has also won the International Photography Awards competition and has been shortlisted for the World Photography Organisation's Sony World Photography Award. Additionally, her work was included in CNN Digital's portfolio for Pictures of the Year International 2024, which placed first for the Angus McDougall Excellence in Editing Award. She graduated from Syracuse University with a B.S. in photojournalism from the Newhouse School of Public Communications and management at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management. Previously, she was a leader at The Daily Orange first as the publication's Photo Editor and then as its Editor-in-Chief. 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 the photo intern at The San Francisco Standard. |
