Stephen Crowley began his career as a photographer in 1972 during a stint at a community newspaper in Jupiter, Florida. Mr. Crowley moved to Washington DC in 1986 where he covered the remaining two years of the Reagan presidentcy and the Iran-Contra hears on Capitol Hill for The Washington Times. In 1992 Crowley moved to The New York Times Washington bureau covering The White House, Congress and  was embedded in the Dole, Bush, Kerry, McCain and Romney campaigns. In his personal work Crowley searches for morsels of humanity, irony and humor, collecting images of the country's character as hinted by physical structures, shifting light patterns and happenstance.

On Feb. 5, 2002, Crowley was cited as "Photographer of the Year" by the White House News Photographers' Association for a portfolio that included his essays  "Voices of Afghanistan" and "A  Day in the Life of President Bush."  In 2001 Mr. Crowley was part of a team at the New York Times that won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting, "How Race is Lived in America."

In 2002 the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography was awarded to Crowley and four other photographers at The New York Times for work produced during the war in Afghanistan.  That same year he received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degrees from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, D.C.  In 2005 American Photo Magazine included Crowley on its list of the 100 Most Important People in Photography.

His personal photography has been exhibited in shows at the Library of Congress, The National Geographic Society and the Corcoran Art Museum.
