About Kay Hickman
I'm a documentary photographer and visual artist based in New York City. My work is driven by curiosity, empathy, and a deep commitment to telling honest, human stories. I use my lens to offer an intimate perspective into the everyday lives of the people I photograph — with a focus on identity, human rights, and health.
My images have been featured in publications like The New York Times, TIME, Vogue, Utne Reader, Ms. Magazine, Okayplayer, Coeval, Jazz Halo, and MFON: Women Photographers of the African Diaspora.
Above all, it brings me joy to document and uplift community. That’s what fuels my work — creating space for people to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Interested in collaborating or learning more? I'd love to hear from you.
