SHANNON TAGGART

I am a photographer and writer based in St. Paul, Minnesota. My work explores photography’s relationship to invisible or contested realities, moving between documentary, archival research, and image-making.

My book Séance, named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Photobooks of 2019, has been widely featured and exhibited.

Earlier in my career, I contributed photographs to publications including Newsweek, The New York Times Magazine, Discover, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, and Reader’s Digest.

I have spoken at many venues, including Harvard, Yale, Science Museum London, Peabody Essex Museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Walker Art Center.

Currently I am working on an illustrated book on the Society for Research on Rapport and Telekinesis (SORRAT), one of the most unusual cases in the history of psychical research. Since 2014, I have curated and hosted an annual summer symposium in Lily Dale, NY.

I also publish a monthly journal on Substack—part documentary, part ghost story—where I share new work, research, and archival material as it unfolds.
