Brea Souders is an artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Working across photography, text, and bookmaking, her practice moves between observational photography and studio-based experimentation, with an interest in how images and their meanings are transformed by time, technology, and perception.

Souders is the author of several books, including Blue Women (TBW Books, 2026), Another Online Pervert (MACK, 2023), and Eleven Years (Saint Lucy, 2021). She is currently editing 23 Devotions for Francesca Woodman (Saint Lucy Books, forthcoming 2027), a collection of personal reflections on Woodman's work by contemporary artists.

Souders has exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at Baxter St. at CCNY, Bruce Silverstein Gallery and the Abrons Arts Center in New York, as well as at Foam Museum in Amsterdam, Centre Photographique Rouen Normandie in France, and PhMuseum in Bologna. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Artforum, Frieze, i-D, Vogue, The Los Angeles Review of Books, and The New Yorker. Her artist books are part of the library collections at the Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Stanford University, the Getty Research Institute, Harvard University, the National Gallery of Art, and Princeton University. She is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, a National Arts Club Fellowship, and a Baxter St. at CCNY Residency.
