Photography: Cara Romero

If you’ve ever held a camera in your hands (even a phone camera), no doubt you’ve admired the art of photography and how photographers can capture a moment so purely. Of women photographers, many may recognize the works of Imogene Cunningham, Margaret Burke-White, Dorothea Lange and so many others who were often overlooked. 

And then along comes Cara Romero, who is finally getting much deserved exhibitions and accolades. Romero, an enrolled citizen of the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, says: “We don’t have a word in our language for photography. The figures [in my work] represent ideas and stories bigger than themselves––and at the heart of my work is shared storytelling, representation, and collaboration with loved ones, friends, and family appearing in a kind of repertory.”

Fingers crossed 🤞, we hope to see her work up close and personal at International Society of Appraisers Assets Conference 2026 in Phoenix!
