FIONA HURLESS
PHOTOGRAPHY

it's Nice to meet you, I'm Fiona.
If you didn't know I was a photographer, it probably wouldn't take you long to find out. I have a passion for documenting moments and it is clear in my forever role as the friend with the camera out at any given time.
As a young child, I loved going through old childhood photos and albums of my parents from a time before I was born. There was something about looking at a photograph from a moment I wasn't even present in, yet gathering more than just the image, that I really connected with. Being able to feel moments through photos is such a special feeling, and is a large part of why I love taking them so people have moments to look back on.
I've been gravitating towards cameras for as long as I can remember and have considered visual art and storytelling a passion for years. After years of borrowing my Mom's digital cameras (before they were cool), my parents gifted me a camera one year for Christmas, and the rest is history.
Hi!
SOME THINGS ABOUT ME:




I am originally from Chicago and it is forever home.
I have a huge sweet tooth and would never refuse a treat.
I love to travel and have lived in 3 different countries.
I currently own 10 different cameras... yes it is an addiction and I am okay with that!

My credentials...
I graduated from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications in 2024 with a degree in Broadcast & Digital Journalism.
As a lifelong photographer and writer, I loved mixing the two in this industry and sharing current events through visual mediums.
Syracuse University is also where I started photographing grads, and where I have been blessed to return to for graduation season. I may have left Syracuse with a degree, but I also left with the intro to my career as a photographer.
