sarah-biography

Sarah Quick is a photography student living and working in Philadelphia. She was introduced to photography at the age of 12, during a lonely week at overnight camp. Due to a serendipitous scheduling error, she was placed in photography instead of archery. Sarah spent the week shooting and developing, and upon her return home, was hooked.

While attending Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, Sarah had the opportunity to take several more photography classes. Working in school and on independent projects, Sarah realized she wanted photography to play a larger role in her life.

In 2005, Sarah moved to Wilmington to attend Delaware College of Art and Design. It was during this brief year in Delaware that Sarah began to really develop as an artist and gain a new appreciation for the work and dedication that goes into making a good photograph. Continuing her work in the darkroom, she focused on improving her technical skills, producing conceptual, dreamy black and white prints.

Homesickness brought Sarah back to her native Philadelphia in 2006. In the Fall of that year, she enrolled at Moore College of Art and Design. After years of working exclusively in the darkroom, she was introduced to digital photography. After a rocky transition, Sarah found a comfortable place in the digital world. She now works primarily with digital equipment, dividing her time between photography and Photoshop.

Sarah is currently working towards her B.F.A. in Photography and Digital Arts at Moore. In her free time she enjoys movies, walks, and spending time with her animals.
