Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia–Herzegovina, Svjetlana Tepavcevic lived through the early 1990s war in her country. She has resided in the United States for the past 20 years. She holds a B.A. from University of California at Los Angeles and an M.A. from University of Pennsylvania.
Contemplative, interpretive, and uniquely expressed, Tepavcevic's work explores her surroundings through detailed and long-term observation, centering on how she relates to and experiences her subjects.
A three-time finalist for Photolucida's Critical Mass Award, her work was exhibited at photo-eye Gallery in Santa Fe, NM and the Griffin Museum for Photography in Winchester, MA. Communication Arts Photography Annual, The New Yorker, New Scientist, Wired and PDN have all featured her photographs. Her prints are in the collections of corporate institutions, private collectors and museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the High Museum of Arts in Atlanta and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
