About me

ericacannon.wixsite.com @ericacannonphotography Erica is a photographer interested in representations of women and the female gaze. Her work is a mix of planned, posed shots in the studio and unguarded intimate moments at home between her closest friends and family. The images document a shared experience, they tell a collective story of female empowerment and positivity in the 21st century. Erica was recently nominated as a finalist for the AOP Student Awards, 2022, under the 'People' category. Alongside graduating with a First-Class Honours in Photography from Solent University, Erica was also awarded the Christian Drane Memorial Prize, 2022. Erica's work has been exhibited as part of the ‘A Trace of Fleeting Time' exhibition at Solent University, June 2022 and most recently exhibited as part of the 'Ripe Plums' at the Alfred Arcade in Southampton, July 2022
