Sepuya (*1982 in San Bernardino, California, USA) is a photographic artist whose projects weave together histories and spaces of possibility of the portrait, queer and homoerotic networks of production and collaboration, and the material and conceptual potential of "blackness" at the heart of the medium. Using collage techniques, layering, fragmentation and mirroring, SEPUYA explores the complexity of photographic production. In doing so, the relationship between artist and sitter is renegotiated and placed at the centre of the art-making process.

From the early photographs taken in his bedroom to the most recent series produced in the photographer's studio, Sepuya questions the essence of the studio space and expands the definition of what that space has been and what it could be. Conceptual and aesthetic devices of 19th century studio photography are reinvented to illuminate contemporary issues of portraiture.
