Work

Chanell Stone's work predominantly features black and white self-portraits. She first took an analog photography class in high school [3] and continues to use film in her practice, primarily shooting with a Pentax. [4]

Stone was a featured photographer in W Magazine's "These Are the 8 Young Photographers to Follow in 2020". [3] She was also a shortlisted finalist for the 2020 San Francisco Artadia Award. [5] She attributes her interest in representation and self-portraiture to growing up with social media, namely Myspace. [3] Portrait photography continues to be her primary focus. [6]

Her series "Natura Negra" explores the connection of black bodies and nature, [7] specifically the nature that can be found in dense cities [4] or what she refers to as "urban nature". [3] This series sets out to reclaim and reconnect black bodies to nature, even if it is in an urban setting. [1] Stone says, "As Black people, it feels like these rural spaces aren't for us. I want to turn that idea on its head." [2] Stone also aims to dispel the problematic idea that Black people’s only connection to nature is through slavery. [6] "Natura Negra" won her an emerging artist award from the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco.

Stone has also worked as an editorial photographer for the California Sunday Magazine, documenting a family affected by the Camp Fire in Paradise, California in 2018. [8]

For Black History Month in February 2021, Apple, Inc. commissioned 30 photographers to contribute to the Shot on iPhone campaign, "Hometown". [9] Stone contributed pictures of Oakland, California that were featured on Apple's Instagram account as well as billboards around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Prior to 2014, MoAD educated visitors on the history, culture, and art of the African diaspora through permanent and rotating exhibitions. After a six-month refurbishment in 2014 to expand the gallery spaces, the museum reopened and transitioned into presenting exclusively fine arts exhibitions. MoAD does not have a permanent collection and instead works directly with artists or independent curators when developing exhibitions.
