A new season for SPE NEMA is underway. We’re excited to reconnect, share what’s ahead, and introduce the artists and educators helping shape our chapter.

Meet the NEMA Leadership: Kristy Boyce, Vice Chair @kristyboyce Kristy Boyce is a Canadian photographer and interdisciplinary artist. Much of her commercial work asks the same question as her fine art practice: how is identity constructed, and by whom? In Bent Canons, her ongoing series, she collaborates with queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming subjects to remake images from religion, art history, folklore, and colonial history, treating icon-making as invention rather than recovery. In PLESHKA, made in St. Petersburg during the Sochi Olympics, she photographed and filmed LGBTQ Russians living under the country’s violent anti-gay laws. Her interactive and sculptural work starts from her own position as a white settler. Boyce began her career as a photojournalist in Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Thailand, and the Philippines, on assignment for organizations including UNICEF and Lutheran World Relief. Her commercial practice spans advertising, fashion, and portraiture, and the traffic between the practices runs in both directions: campaign work disciplines the art’s lighting, staging, and control, and the art’s questions about who belongs in an image travel back into her campaigns. Her photographs have appeared in Elle, The Globe and Mail, and the Toronto Star, and have been exhibited in Canada and the UK. She is an Applied Arts Photography Award winner, an Assistant Professor of Advertising Photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology’s School of Photographic Arts and Sciences, and is co-authoring a book on photographic lighting for Rocky Nook. She holds an MFA in Digital Futures from OCAD University and a BFA in Photography from Toronto Metropolitan University, and lives between Rochester, New York, and Toronto. We’re excited to have Kristy serving as Vice Chair of SPE NEMA, the Northeast + Mid-Atlantic Chapter of @spenational. #SPENEMA #SocietyForPhotographicEducation #PhotographyEducation #ContemporaryPhotography #PhotographyCommunity ⚠️The photographs shown here are original photographs/artwork and are NOT AI-generated.
