Tiff j Tiff Sutton

Hi, I’m Tiff j Tiff Sutton, and I’m a photographer living in St. Louis, MO.
I began documenting my family and friends after receiving a Kodak camera as a Christmas gift in the early 1990’s. While primarily a self-taught photographer, I also attended classes at Washington University and Forest Park Community College, both in St. Louis.
I make portraits of Black women as a way to reconnect with myself and to discuss social movements. I use both film and Polaroid cameras.

Being my Patron means that I can become a full-time artist/photographer with a sustainable income that supports me financially throughout the year. Your patronage funds artwork for upcoming exhibitions, and allows me to apply for career-changing artist grants and residencies.
I’ll have the freedom to try new photographic techniques and methods; all while you follow along my journey to become a world-renowned photographer.

As a patron, you will have access to my artwork and educational content. Members will enjoy access to lessons on film photography, scanning, and shooting. You’ll virtually join me on photography shoots, and be able to observe post production to the finished piece.
I’ll have exclusive content featuring African American artists, photographers and curators; interviews with these creatives will give you insight in the St. Louis art world.

Also, I’ll host photography critiques with Q&As, all designed to further your knowledge in art photography, and to learn more about my work.

If you follow me on Instagram consider becoming a patron of my work. Your support, financial and otherwise, encourages me to strive for greater artistic success and fulfillment.
