Rachel Rimell

Photography

I am a photographic artist concerned mainly with the themes of identity and transitions. My artistic practice examines the individual through the prism of transitions and liminal spaces, connections and shared experiences and the human condition.

The sounds, textures and ambience of what makes a place specific and unique; the cultural and personal resonance with location and our place within the landscape; the impressions we leave on the places we visit and inhabit; the faces we wear that make up the multi-faceted self; the bonds of shared experience; and the impact of life’s milestones on personal identity.

My work has received a number of accolades including being a Portrait of Britain 2020 winner as well as being published by legendary portrait photographer Rankin in his This is Britain collection. I have two self-published books exploring the themes of motherhood and identity and have been featured in a number of high profile publications and media including The Guardian, BBC, Vogue Italia, FujiLove Magazine. I have been widely exhibited including The Guardian’s Women Behind the Lens; Portrait of Britain nationwide; Shutterhub’s Everyday Delight and Postcards from Great Britain; and my solo exhibition Motherhood and Identity.
