About

Stephanie Duprie Routh is a photographer and writer who approaches image-making as an experimental language for narrative and conceptual exploration. Blurring boundaries between visual art and literature, she expands photographic work with text and process-based storytelling. Her practice moves beyond the camera, incorporating physical interventions, recontextualization, and multi-stage creation to challenge how images are understood.

Routh’s work explores womanhood, essence of place, and the transitory states of being human. Rather than documenting the visible, she seeks to photograph what is unseen—psychological, emotional, and subconscious realities. Through layering, alteration, and narrative framing, she invites viewers to reconsider identity and memory.

She is currently represented by SLATE Contemporary Gallery (Oakland, California). Her work has been exhibited in the United States, Japan, Italy, Spain, and India, and her photographs are held in the permanent collections of The Wittliff Collections, CENTER Image Library and Archive, Texas A&M University, Concordia University, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, The Loren at Lady Bird Lake, and with private collectors. Routh’s work has been recognized by the Julia Margaret Cameron Awards, IPA Awards and LensCulture. In 2024, she was nominated to apply for a Leica Oskar Barnack Award.

Routh’s photographs and writing have been published in Forbes, The Raw Society Magazine, FRAMES Magazine, PDN Magazine, National Geographic Traveler, Dodho Magazine, The Austin Chronicle, and by several independent photo reviews. Her monographs Where the Ocean Drinks the Sky as well as Daydream in Memories of Youth are part of The Loren at Lady Bird Lake’s permanent collection. Daydream in Memories of Youth, published in 2024, received awards from International Photography Awards and Paris Photo Prize. Her latest monograph Atlas of Invisible Things, published by Kehrer Verlag, debuts in Spring 2026.
