Emi O’Connell

Based in South East London, Emi O'Connell's work focuses on equality and women’s health with a particular interest in phototherapy and using visual arts as a way to sensitively approach topics of trauma. She uses re-enactment and self-portraiture, as well as a research-based practice mixing documentary photography and performative elements throughout her work. Emi’s intimate and sensitive approach uses primarily analogue photography and cameraless techniques. For commercial and editorial work Emi has worked with Financial Times, Net-a-Porter and Harrods.
