Born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, Tiffany Brown has had a lifelong passion for photography. A documentary photographer with a distinct point of view, an eye for detail and a sense of humor, Tiffany digs into stories to inform her work and provide viewers with something more than straight news photographs – whether it’s casino workers losing their longtime jobs to the “progress” of a wrecking ball or a teacher coping with the devastating effects of a shooter’s bullet lodged in her husband’s spine. In her current work she is leading the way to tell multimedia stories online as well.

Brown worked for a community newspaper in Corvallis, Oregon, from 2003 to 2006 and is currently a staff photographer with Greenspun Media Group, including the Las Vegas Sun, Las Vegas Weekly, Las Vegas Magazine and InBusiness Las Vegas. In late May 2010 Tiffany is transitioning to freelance full-time based in Las Vegas. If you would like to work with her, don’t wait, get in touch!

Her freelance work has published in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Stern, Wired.com, CondeNaste Portfolio, Rolling Stone, The Fader, The Washington Post, The Oregonian, and many others.

Tiffany’s photos have been published in books including America 24/7 (2003), Oregon 24/7 (2004) and as one of only forty contract photographers worldwide for Blue Planet Run: The Race to Provide Safe Drinking Water to the World (2007).

In 2009 Brown was a staff member of the Las Vegas Sun’s Pulitzer Prize for public service, she won first place in the portrait category of the Associated Press’ California/Nevada Photo Contest and a third place for portrait in the Nevada Press Association photo contest.

In addition, Tiffany has been a runner-up for the 2007 Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism for a single project, was a finalist for the 2008 Dart Award, a 2008 nominee for the World Press Joop Swart Masterclass and has been recognized for her work by the National Press Photographers Association, Best of the West journalism contest, The Associated Press, The Eddie Adams Workshop, Nevada Press Association, Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, Society of Professional Journalists, Suburban Newspapers of America, Lee Enterprises, and her mom and dads.
