Work

Photography is a language that allows me to communicate with others in ways not available to me by any other means, I am able to translate my thoughts, feelings, and opinions into photographs that express things to the viewer that I simply can’t say in any other way.[3]

Seeking Perfection

Seeking Perfection: Traditional Apple Growing in Japan portfolio documents a specialized form of apple cultivation in the Aomori Prefecture in Japan. Stevens mostly used the Pinoramic 120, the Hasselblad and the Noblex Pro 6/150U cameras to capture what she was looking for in terms of depth-of-field, scope of the scene, and how close she wanted to get for certain shots.[5]

Tears of Stone: World War I Remembered

This documented the war's lasting impact in large black-and-white images that included destruction still visible in barraged, upended, pockmarked fields; abandoned towns that were never rebuilt; mementos left by families who still make pilgrimages to World War I cemeteries and sculptures that record unhealed grief.[6]

The project was supported by $23,000 from UC, the English Speaking Union and Ohio Arts Council. Stevens made five two-week trips to 189 sites and a selection of her photos was published in Tears of Stone: World War I Remembered.[4]
