Welcome to our new BLOG!!!

Stacy Pearsall - Pink Team Leader

My name is Stacy Pearsall and I got my start as an Air Force photographer at the age of 17. During my time in the service I traveled to over 41 countries and attended S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. I am one of only two women to win the NPPA Military Photographer of the Year competition, and the only woman to have won it twice. During my three tours in Iraq, I earned the Bronze Star Medal and Commendation with Valor for heroic actions under fire.

My work has been published in various national and international media as well as documentaries. I've shared my experiences as a female combat photojournalist with the world through Popular Photography, Newsweek and even Oprah.

I now own the Charleston Center for Photography, which is a photographic education center and studio rental source in Charleston, S.C. I travel the world teaching photography and I continue to photograph assignments for editorial and commercial clients.

Hey there Pink Team folks! I hope you are all brimming with anticipation about EAW next month. I know I am. EAW is not only a time for you to learn a lot, but for folks like myself to be inspired by photographers like you.

I've created this blog because I want to get to know you all. Plus, I want to give you a platform in which you can ask questions. I've been helping at EAW for many years, so has Santiago Lyon and Mike Stewart. We've heard and seen it all - well most of it all.

Ask ANY questions you may have!

This blog is also a place to get to know each other too. So share some pictures and stories. Let's get some dialog going and let's start building some team-age!
