My name is Sara Culler and I live in Santa Fe, NM. I was born as an American citizen in Sweden to a Swedish mother and an American father. Raised mostly in Malmo, Sweden but spent almost a decade in Dallas, Texas – Stark contrast to each other.
I have always enjoyed taking photos of our world. I studied photography back before we had digital cameras, but never took it to the next level. Instead I fell onto an existential path in life. This path brought me through a brief attempt at a contemporary dance teacher career and 10+ years in the music industry, creating, recording, touring with my own music and with Grammy nominated artists, doing some industry/press related photography here and there for select artists.
I have struggled with a chronic/terminal illness, that in 2012 forced me to leave my day job. With the emergence of decent quality cell phone cameras, my urge to photograph was instantly awoken. When I got my first Iphone – Taking photos became a found again passion, a re-revelation if you will. Photography has been something to stimulate my mind and keep it away from the negative thought patterns that a life with a chronic illness inevitably creates. Taking photos maintains my ability to see the beauty in my surroundings – Beauty in the detail and beauty in the big picture. Due to this medical condition, I have not been able to afford a real camera, and the one I once had is long gone, lost in years of moving trough different continents in hope of a better life. Hopefully I will be able to afford a new digital camera as I continue on my path in the world of photography.
