North Shore-based lifestyle photographer Fawn DeViney (@sfawnd) splits her time between Peabody and Phoenix capturing hidden moments, soft light, and clean but dynamic fashion shots that keep Boston brands calling her back for more. The 27-year-old wound up in the area after studying social work at Gordon College and stuck around to pursue a career.
Q. How did you end up working in photography?
A. My parents always knew that I wanted to do photography from the time I was 12 and they were really supportive of it. I went to photography camp and studied photography abroad, but they really wanted me to have a backup plan so that's where the social work degree came in to play. But fortunately I've been able to really pursue my love and passion post-grad.
Q. How would you describe your work?

A. I would say I'm a simplistic person. I definitely appreciate sort of the minimalist lifestyle, but sometimes that can feel a bit cold. I like to have very simple subjects but still have a sense of warmth and comfort to it.
Q. Do you think that comes through on Instagram?
A. My Instagram is very authentic to what I'm doing each day or what I'm surrounding myself with, so there's sort of that daily aspect and the sense of wanting to sort of edit it down to have it portray sort of what my website looks like or what my blog looks like. But, social media, it's so easy to just make your life look fresh and crisp, and that isn't realistic.
I think my Instagram showcases my daily life and sometimes it can be a little chaotic, but the root of it is sort of finding the beauty and simple things, whether it be shooting on location at a flower farm or the messy dinner that I made that night.
Q. If you have to split your wardrobe between two completely opposite climates, how do you usually pack?
A. I am, again, sort of pretty simplistic when it comes to my wardrobe. I don't really own anything colorful so I [have] a lot of blacks, whites, and grays, and those basics sort of translate to long sleeves, short sleeves, dresses. Linen dresses right now are sort of my favorite thing. Silly enough, from J.Jill, which you would think is sort of an older place for someone to shop, but they have the best linen basics and they're perfect for layering a cardigan or throwing tanks underneath, especially on these crisp days.

Q. That seems kind of counter-intuitive, since linen wrinkles so easily if you're packing it.
A. I know, but that's the other thing, I have a steamer. You know, I wouldn't call myself a stylist, but that's sort of in my repertoire, so there are some things that stylists can't live without, and one of those is being a steamer. It works wonders with linen.
Right when me & my boney feet were ready to pack up for fall it decided to get hot & humid in Boston.

Q. So what is your average work day like?
A. I work for a couple of different magazines and get to collaborate with amazing chefs and companies. One of my favorites is a Boston-based company that I was actually shooting for today, Covet + Lou. I shoot interiors and lifestyle products like that for a few different companies, which is always very inspiring and new. Every shoot is very different and so going to work never gets old.
