Hi, I’m Désirée.
I’m a fine art photographer originally based in London, currently travelling and making art around the world.
My work has won and been shortlisted for international photography awards, exhibited internationally and featured in print. Much of my photography explores self-portraiture, storytelling and the more emotional side of image-making.
Here I share what I’m learning along the way – from creative photography ideas and techniques to artist residencies, travel and the realities of building a creative life.
