im grace santoli. i am a photographer and photojournalist based in new york city.

what makes something compelling? what makes something interesting?

i love exploring this throughout my visual work.

i think of photography as something akin to an engineering feat.

engineering a photograph, looking for what makes it work, what makes it go.
