Dorie Hagler

I am a New York City based storyteller and an advocate.  I am as interested in photographing newsbreaking events as I am in patiently covering a long form documentary project. My photographs appear in distinguished publications such as Tina Brown Live Media, The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, Elle, The Chicago Tribune, The Denver Post, The Albuquerque Journal,  Ski Magazine, New Mexico Magazine, and many others. I have been commissioned by international non-profits, local non-profits and documentary film-makers and have been awarded a public art commission by The State of New Mexico. Images from my personal documentary projects are collected by The State of New Mexico, museums,state agencies and individuals throughout New Mexico and the United States.
