Stephanie Freid-Perenchio

Photographer, Co-author, SEAL: The Unspoken Sacrifice

A native of Southern California, photographer, and visionary of this book, Stephanie began her career in visual arts as a stylist for television, fashion designers, and print media before becoming a talent/music agent. Some people are born with a kind of X-ray vision that allows them to see life’s truths hiding in plain view. Stephanie’s ability to capture this unique insight took a giant leap forward when she began taking photographs; first, as a serious hobby and soon afterward, as a professional and passionate photographer.

Photography continues to lead Stephanie on a compelling path around the globe, focusing her lens and public attention on subjects as varied as the difficult realities of the Naval Special Warfare community and the endangered ecosystems of African wildlife and tribal culture. Her photographs stand witness to what is lost and what is eternal in every face, landscape, and passing moment.

From her home in Idaho, she watches the sun climb the Pioneer Mountains with her husband, two daughters, two happy dogs, and six spoiled horses. "SEAL: The Unspoken Sacrifice" is her first book.
