Accra Shepp is a photographer who has exhibited in both the US and abroad. On September 30, 2011 Mr. Shepp went to Zuccotti Park, in New York City, to investigate the Occupy Wall Street protests that began there a couple weeks prior. Sensing that the protests had the potential to be historically significant, he decided to record them. ?Using a large format camera, he captured the diversity of the participants and the range of their activities of the burgeoning movement.

Mr. Shepp earned a Fulbright Fellowship to Indonesia in 1999. In 1997, his work was exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. His work has also appeared in The New York Times, Harper?s Magazine, and Camera Arts, among other publications. ?He has been an innovator in the field of photography, creating the process of printing photographic images on leaves in 1992. Mr. Shepp holds a BA in Art History and Studio Art from Princeton University, and a Master?s Degree in Art History from the Institute of Fine Arts at NYU.
