Romina Belda (1990) is a Spanish-born London based photographer whose approach to the locations and people she photographs is instinctive and subjective. Romina’s work often explores topics of belonging, memory and identity. She weaves her images together to create narratives mostly based on poetics of the everyday, taking the ordinary as the source of all meaning. Her practice is infused with feelings of melancholy and loss.
Romina graduated in Musicology at University of Salamanca and pursued later photography at FUGA Barcelona, although she considers herself a self-taught photographer.
Her work has been published in Calliope Magazine, MAI: Feminism & Visual Culture, Haus a Rest, She’s got Wonder, As Yet Untitled, Boomer Gallery Magazine and exhibited in Artizan Gallery (UK), Wheatfen Nature Reserve (UK), Climate Action and Visual Culture centre of University of Huddersfield (UK), The Skopelos Foundation for the Arts (Greece), Aire Place Studios (UK) and Casa de los Coroneles (Spain).
