Tegen Kimbley

Halesowen
I am a documentary photographer and filmmaker based in the Black Country. Since graduating from the University of South Wales in 2018, my practice has a focus on exploring manmade environments and the people and objects that occupy them.

Creating narratives around the everyday and over-looked. Through considered composition, I attempt to generate dialogue around current environmental, social and economic issues, whilst creating a sense of atmosphere and place.

My work is rooted in observation. I am interested in how people shape their surroundings and how those surroundings, in turn, shape us. There is often a personal thread running through my projects, but I like to leave space for viewers to reflect on their own relationships with space, memory and change. I am particularly drawn to locations with layered histories, places in transition, or those that carry the weight of personal or collective memory.
