Bio

Erika Long is an innovative photographer and director hailing from Athens, Greece, now based in the vibrant art scene of New York. With an expert command of lighting and darkroom techniques, she masterfully blends these skills with a bold palette of saturated colors, crafting a distinctive visual narrative that explores themes of feminine intimacy. In 2021, Erika partnered with Catalogue Library to launch 'SXWRKER,' a poignant two-year fundraising initiative that documents the lives of sex workers in New York, shedding light on their stories and experiences. The project’s impact continues with a limited second run of the publication available through donations to SWOP. Erika's work not only reflects her artistic vision but also her commitment to social advocacy, as she navigates her creative journey alongside her family in the bustling heart of New York.
