Vanessa Leroy (b. 1996) is a freelance photographer and photo editor based in Boston, Massachusetts. She holds a BFA in Photography from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Currently, she is an Associate Photo Editor at CNN. Formerly, she worked as a Photo Editing Intern at NPR. She remains on the hunt
for new ways of seeing, remembering, and altering the world through photography.
She is drawn to image-making because of the power it holds to create nuanced representation for marginalized people and uplift their stories. She sees photography
as a
tool for social justice, and with it, she hopes to create worlds that people feel as though they can enter and draw from, as well as provide a look into an experience that they may not personally recognize.
Clients include: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, STAT News, The Hechinger Report, Bloomberg, The Guardian, and The Huffington Post. Gallery representation: Gallery Kayafas in Boston, MA.
