Lizzy Sullivan was born in Ancud, Chile and raised in Brooklyn New York. Working as a staff photographer, she has been a regular contributor to the New York Post for the past four years as well as Blackbook magazine and other publications.

She graduated from SUNY Purchase and received a BFA with a major in photography. Shortly after an internship at Pace MacGill gallery, Amber light printing and the 20 x 24 polaroid studio, she assisted Mary Ellen Mark, Peter Beard and Chuck Close .

In the past three years, she has been included in several group shows in Bermuda, LA and Brooklyn. In 2009, one of her photographs, “Rocket in Coney Island, 2008” was selected by the National Press Photographer’s Association to be in the group show, “Best of Women in Photojournalism, 2009.”

She is currently working on a series called Backstage Brooklyn's Burlesque. For the past 2 years, she has been following a group of dancers during their preparation and in between moments before and after their performances. Documenting these off-peak moments has enabled her to reveal a voyeuristic glimpse into the quiet moments of these dancers who are willing to bare it all on stage. In June one of her photos has been selected to be in Just Art 2010, a silent auction hosted by NYCLU.
