About the Authors

Theophilus Donoghue is a documentary photographer who was mentored by his late father, legendary photographer Steve Schapiro. Theophilus's work is at once contemplative and light-hearted. Like his dad who documented the civil rights movement, Theophilus has a concern for social justice and has worked on projects in tandem with Schapiro about ending gun violence, abolishing the death penalty, and addressing poverty and inequality among other significant issues. In addition to focusing on meaningful topics, Donoghue also enjoys photographing unique individuals and diverse circumstances filled with humour, reverence, and sincerity. Having been raised in LA, NYC, and Chicago, Theophilus has a passion for cities and the poetic beauty they contain. He works primarily in black and white but uses colour selectively. Donoghue was featured in ARTSY's 20 21 Artists in Support of Human Rights Watch benefit auction. In March 2021, Theophilus launched his Instagram page @theodocphoto on which he displays a portion of his work.
