Whitney Young is a photographic artist based in Kansas City, MO, who received a formal education in photo media. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Kansas. Whitney was drawn to the medium of photography at an early age. Specifically, what captured her most was the idea of committing a physical memory into the world. Photography offered proof of existence, a permanent and tangible moment in time. Photography has allowed her to explore multiple environments, communities, and family dynamics while giving her access to complex understanding through still images. Though photography is her tool for these sociological and conceptual expressions, she also tends to play with abstraction in her work by incorporating experimental process techniques, playing with various printing methods, and layering.
