Stephen Pulvirent is an artist, writer, and creative director living in Los Angeles, California.
His photographs emphasize the ways in which built environments shape our emotional lives, the fragmentary nature of creating and experiencing culture, and the act of image making itself. He is particularly interested in combinations of images, both diptychs and larger groups, and the unique way they require viewers to actively engage and create fresh meaning upon each encounter. His practice includes a mix of digital and analog photographic techniques, including platinum/palladium printing, digital silver gelatin printing, instant photography, 35mm film, and more.
He is also the founder of Rime & Reason, a contemporary creative agency that works with global brands to tell better stories and to meaningfully engage with culture. Previously, he worked in the world of lifestyle media at publications such as Hodinkee, Bloomberg, and Surface Media, and his photographs and writing have appeared in outlets such as CNN, Departures, GQ, Wired, and others.
Stephen takes special projects and private commissions on a limited basis.
