ABOUT PIA

Pia Ostrognai is a visual storyteller. 

​

Her diverse background from living in Hong Kong, Colorado, and New York influences her work heavily, nurturing her passion for photojournalism, street portraiture, and editorial photography. ​

​

Now at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and College of Arts & Sciences studying both Photography & Imaging (B.F.A.) and Journalism (B.A.), each photograph Pia takes aims to further portray the world's hidden or underappreciated wonders, re-representing and placing her subject matter in a different light. She finds beauty in mundanity and fleetingness, empowerment and courage, and truthfulness and narration. 

​

She is a national and regional award-winning photographer and writer. Pia has received recognition from some of the most prestigious art organizations for her demographic over recent years, with her work being exhibited and published in various galleries and publications. Additonally, she has photographed widely-recognized, high-profile events and aspires to continue establishing herself within the artistic community. Pia is now a staff photographer at Washington Square News.
