UFCJC Alumna’s Photographs Featured in The New York Times Magazine

Stephanie Sinclair, B.S. Journalism 1998 and Hall of Fame 2008, is an acclaimed photographer whose work focuses on gender and human rights. Her photographs were recently featured in “What A High-Risk Pregnancy Looks Like After Dobbs” published in The New York Times Magazine on Nov. 13.

Since the Supreme Court ruled on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade and abolishing the constitutional right to abortion, most of the termination procedures were now considered crimes.

Sinclair, along with writer Jaime Lowe, spent two weeks capturing the newly unsettled world inside the Cleveland Clinic’s maternal-fetal medicine department. They chronicled the plight of patients and physicians dealing with high-risk pregnancies and the dangers that might occur.

Sinclair’s work has been featured in national publications including Time Magazine and National Geographic. She received a social change grant from the Shuttleworth Foundation for her non-profit organization Too Young to Wed in 2020. In 2017, she received the Anja Niedringhaus Courage in Photojournalism Award for capturing the quiet dignity of women and girls who have endured cruel practices such as child marriage, genital mutilation and acid attacks.
