)
Riff Raff welcomes the photographer and director to their Nursery of Evil roster for global representation.
Beth Sacca is Director and Photographer based in New York.
Her imagery elevates the ordinary through composition, timing, and visual storytelling that feels both natural and subtly heightened. Intentionally focusing on subtle gestures and ordinary settings, Sacca’s images convey deeper emotional or humorous truths about human nature. She began her career as a photo editor at Cosmopolitan before joining New York Magazine after shooting its award-winning cover, The Pleasures of Outdoor Dining.
Her work has received significant recognition, including Cover of the Year at the American Society of Magazine Editors Awards and a Gold Cube from the Art Directors Club. In 2025, her short film Heat Wave received Silver in the “In the Making” category at The 1.4 Awards. Her clients include leading publications such as The New Yorker, GQ, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Vogue Italia.
Her visual language is exemplified in After Hours, a stunning photographic and motion series that explores themes of isolation, routine, and emotional detachment all layered with Beth’s signature humorous undertone. Beth is currently expanding her creative practice into film, continuing to build a distinctive voice across both still and moving images.
Upon joining Riff Raff Films, Sacca said: “I’m incredibly grateful to be joining Riff Raff at this point in my career. As an emerging director, it means a great deal to be surrounded by a team that genuinely supports nurturing talent and bold ideas. Becoming part of the Nursery of Evil is exciting for many reasons, honestly, the name alone would’ve sold me. According to my sister, this officially makes me an Evil Baby, which feels like a pretty strong start.”
Head of Development & Special Projects Sarah O’Kane says: “Beth is one of those rare talents whose strong visual eye is matched by an extraordinary ability to craft cinematic narratives that make her work instantly distinct and already iconic. From photographing live rats at a dinner party for New York Magazine to perfectly articulating what a sticky, intoxicating NYC heatwave feels like - Beth’s imagination is endless and one we are delighted to have joined the Riff Raff family. Outside of all her creative talents, Beth is also a lovely human being with a lovely dog called Petunia which makes it all the more exciting to have her on board.”
