MEREDITH TRUAX

Meredith is a commercial portrait photographer based in NYC. She has been uniquely situated in the heart of the music industry for nearly 15 years. In that time she has worn many hats: photographer, producer, director, digital tech, retoucher, and archivist — to name a few. She enjoys collaborating with musical artists of all variety.

At the core of her photographic practice is human connection. She loves portraiture for that reason; to capture truth and beauty in every form is her primary goal. She loves working with developing artists to grow their visual identity, and she enjoys building the best team to achieve a precise vision on set. Conversely, she also relishes the opportunity to document people in their own environments, allowing circumstance to lead. This nimble approach to photography has led to the extensive stylistic range in her portfolio.

Having begun her photography studies in the darkroom, she has an affinity for working with film and in-camera techniques. She also works extensively with Super 8 motion picture film, and has produced, directed, and filmed music videos for major labels and indie artists alike.

From touring with Rihanna to helming multiple photographic campaigns for Of Monsters and Men, her work has brought her to Iceland, Sweden, Mexico, Berlin, the British Virgin Islands, Peru, and beyond. Other career highlights to date include two years spent associate-producing eleven music videos for Fall Out Boy (featuring Elton John, Courtney Love, and more), documenting an evening with Mariah Carey, and seeing her images displayed on the GRAMMYS stage. She has honestly lost track of the number of billboards featuring her work — but her heart still skips a beat when she discovers that a new one has gone up.

When she’s not creating, Meredith can be found at home with her cats, taking in an episode of the X-Files, doing the NYT crossword, or simply relaxing amongst dear friends and family.
