  • Betty Oxlade-Martin

As a fashion and documentary photographer, my work celebrates the beautiful complexities in the world around us, blending real and imagined narratives. Through this lens, I examine how space, style, and culture shape our identities in both individual and group dynamics, creating a visual dialogue on how we navigate larger social structures. In a fast-paced, often overwhelming world, my art serves as a form of escapism both to myself and the audience, a way to pause and cherish fleeting moments that many of us yearn for. My approach is dreamlike and textured with nostalgia, observing individuality within the collective. I challenge traditional notions of youth culture, reframing our understanding of belonging and self-expression whether it is through documenting youth culture events, my portraiture works or constructed editorial narratives. I hope to help create a cultural landscape that celebrates diversity and expands what it means to be young in an ever-evolving world. The images attached to this project were selected from across a number of commissioned and personal projects.
