Sarah Stellino (b. 1992, Wisconsin) is a photographer whose work explores intimacy, identity, and legacy. Working primarily with a large format view camera, she finds deep meaning in the deliberate pace and tactile nature of the photographic process. Her practice centers on the darkroom, where she creates silver gelatin prints that honor the material and process.

Stellino’s fascination with record-keeping grew from the realization of how powerful it can be to see one’s identity reflected in historical images. This awareness drives her to create work that affirms the presence of queer people within the visual record by documenting their stories, relationships, and spaces as acts of both preservation and love. Through collaboration and portraiture, she aims to build an intergenerational archive that celebrates chosen families and enduring connection.

She has exhibited in group shows in New York and Los Angeles, and held solo exhibitions in Wisconsin. Stellino was a finalist for the Women Artists Forward Fund in 2022 and 2024, and her work appears in Memory Orchards: Photographers and Their Families (Candela Books). She has studied with artists including Cheryle St. Onge, Jess T. Dugan, Tim Carpenter, Marc Ohrem-LeClef, and Alan Ross.
