About Sarah Matheson

Australian by birth, Chicagoan by residence, I’m a documentary photographer, photojournalist, visual storyteller and Digital Asset Strategist. I also design and produce large and complex digital asset projects, from running the 50 strong Digital Media Team for the 2018 Women’s March Chicago to sourcing a digital library of 10,000 images across 156 topics for a corporate client. Photography is my Second Career. At 47, I returned to school and attended Columbia College Chicago, studying a 2nd BA (Photography), graduating in 2016 on the Dean's List. I’ve documented Presidents, Congressional and State elected officials, candidates, volunteers, and political strategists hard at work. I’ve captured all sides of politics, all sizes of NPO's and community organizations; as well as documenting hundreds of marches and rallies. When not making photos, I’m doing what all other working parents are doing- juggling the demands of family life whilst trying to carve out time for spontaneous creativity.
