About

I’m Bridget Piazza — a professional photographer with nearly 20 years of experience creating editorial and commercial imagery, including years contributing to large, well-known platforms and working with a wide range of organizations.

Over time, my work kept circling back to the same question:

Who gets access to beautiful, human photography — and who doesn’t?

Why I Created This

In commercial and editorial spaces, thoughtful, story-driven imagery is expected. It’s budgeted for. It’s understood as essential.

But in nonprofit work — even when the mission is critical, the impact is real, and the stories matter deeply — access to high-quality photography is often limited by time, budget, and capacity.

I’ve seen this from both sides.

I’ve spent years photographing professionally, and I’ve also worked inside nonprofit communications roles, where finding the right image under pressure can feel impossible. Too often, the choices are generic stock photos, last-minute workarounds, or imagery that doesn’t reflect the dignity of the people being served.

This project exists to offer a better option.

How I Approach the Work

The photography in this library is intentionally:

  • Human — grounded in real moments rather than performance

  • Inclusive — reflecting a wide range of ages, identities, and lived experiences

  • Editorial — designed to support storytelling, not distract from it

  • Open-ended — leaving room for organizations to bring their own voice and meaning

I photograph with the assumption that these images will be used thoughtfully — in contexts that require trust, care, and clarity.

About the Image Library

The Piazza Photography Image Library is a curated collection of professional photographs created specifically for nonprofit use.

Images are licensed (not sold) and may be used by multiple nonprofit organizations across digital and print communications. The library grows seasonally and intentionally, prioritizing quality, usability, and long-term relevance over volume.

Clear, nonprofit-friendly licensing is central to the work — so organizations can use the images confidently without fear of getting it wrong.
