Cynthia Connolly (born 1964) is an American photographer, graphic designer, and artist. She graduated from Corcoran School of Art and worked for Dischord Records. In 1988 she published Banned in DC: Photos and Anecdotes From the DC Punk Underground (79–85) through her small press Sun Dog Propaganda. The book was compiled with Sharon Cheslow and Leslie Clague, and it documented the early hardcore punk scene in Washington, DC which included such bands as Bad Brains and Minor Threat.
Since the mid-1990s, she has exhibited her photography of musicians, landscapes, and found objects. Most recently she was in the Beautiful Losers exhibit at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. She also creates postcards of her work. In 2002 she became a participant of the Rural Studio Program of Auburn University, Newbern, Alabama. Her recent photography is in Lee Ranaldo's book Lengths and Breaths.
