Cig Harvey is an England-born photographer now based out of Maine. She was an assistant professor at the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University for ten years but then took a gap to do more things for herself. Her photography has been exhibited all over the world. She has been known to bring optimism to all that she does and her visual storytelling has caught the eyes of a wide audience. She teaches workshops and performs speeches all over the world. She primarily shoots medium format with a Hasselblad 503 and sticks with emotional scenarios with portraits of youth and herself paired with stylized composition. Her colors are always very vibrant and complimentary.
Cig Harvey shoots the way she does because she likes to make pictures and create environments that bring her a sense of happiness. She used to participate in a lot of self-portraiture, but over the last seven years she has gone from that onto other subjects. One could conclude that she has found what she needed in herself to not have to photograph it anymore. Storytelling has always been an inspirational to her within her photography and the subject matter and color concern are devices in that storytelling.
