Erin Douglas, is an experienced travel, culture, and portrait, documentary photographer, creative consultant and the Founder of Black Burner Project. She creates and produces visually moving imagery to help brands and individuals in the Travel, culture, & lifestyle space convey a more organic and compelling brand story, helping them to connect, inform, inspire and ignite their audience to action.
However, she is most well known for her photography campaign called “Black Burner Project”. As the Founder of Black Burner Project, Erin has been documenting the growing presence of people of color- with a focus on Black people- who attend Burning Man through beautiful photography and personal narrative interviews since 2018. Since, she has become a voice for awareness, education, support, & inclusion for those both in and outside of the Burning Man community and a prominent advocate for increasing Diversity and Inclusion at Burning Man. Her encouraging words, de-mystifying explanations, and beautiful photography inspires BIPOC to consider coming to Burning Man and helps others embrace & understand the idea of a Black Burner's experience. And it's working. Erin’s passion and dedication towards highlighting the importance of inclusive & authentic storytelling has single handedly impacted the increased number of tickets purchased by PoC over the past few years. BBP reminds the Burner community that representation is an essential element of "radical inclusion".
