Allie Crewe

A recipient of Portrait of Britain in 2019 and 2023 by the British Journal of Photography, Allie's recent solo exhibition was opened by The Queen and featured in The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Observer, Vogue, and BBC News.
She is compelled to capture the portraits of people who desire transformation, seeking narratives of resilience and healing. A portrait should reach beyond the surface to be poignant, there is a tender beauty in this. Photography is a poetic force that creates stories with a touch of magic, hopefully unveiling the inner landscapes of those she works with. She works digitally and on medium format film.

"It is a terrific body of work and I'm not surprised it has been gaining attention. These images have a lot of heart and empathy, they offer detail and a real sense of actual relationships. I feel like these images are, in some sense, an account of love and are timeless in that sense. They do not judge, in fact, they celebrate in a gentle and accommodating way." LensCulture.
