Megan Senturk is a photographer based in Watertown, MA, with a pass
ion for documentary-style photography. She is drawn to the use of natural lighting to capture a certain essence and structure in her photographs. Megan graduated from Lesley University College of Art and Design with a BFA in Photography. Currently, she works as a professional printer for Singer Editions in Boston, MA.
In this body of work, she is on the wall and blend in to really capture a person’s reality. Or she collaborates with the subject and together, creating something. The use of shadows and light can create a certain dynamic and mood to a photograph. The color gives off a vibrant energy.

Since 1987, the walls at Somerville Community Access TV have continuously served as a rotating art exhibition space for Somerville artists. Submission has been open to artists who were born, live, or work in Somerville. The Art Wall has acted as an extension of our mission by providing exhibition space for all Somerville artists and we are thankful to everyone who has shared their work with us and the greater community.
Somerville has more artists per square foot than any other city in the country — except maybe New York City. To have your art showcased at the Somerville Media Center, contact frontdesk@somervillemedia.org
