Audrey Connolly
A life long photographer Audrey, known on the streets as Bytegirl, got her first camera at the age of four. An award winning landscape and street photographer. Bytegirl has walked the streets of New York City since 1995.
Heavily influenced by artists like Norman Rockwell and the idea of being able to tell a story in a single shot, she began to notice that more and more street art was entering her frame. Eventually she got up the nerve to talk to the artists whose work was becoming part of her stories. That is when, for the first time in her life, she found her tribe, her people... fellow artists. Watching creativity and imagination come to life is her drug of choice and street artists are her pushers.
Joanna Pan
Joanna Pan enjoys photographing public art and is especially drawn to graffiti’s dynamic wildstyle lettering, characters, and caricatures. She loves investigating and relaying stories shared with her by artists, curators, organizers, and activists. She is particularly interested in the rights of artists under the law.
