Ian Kemp
Ian is a British born lens based artist who studied at the Colchester School of Art, receiving a First Class Honours Degree in Photography in 2022.
Ian has previously worked within the fields of child protection, the prevention of domestic violence & hate crime and has run projects creating improved facilities for vulnerable victims of crime.
With innovative concepts, he favours creating projects that question human behaviours and that highlight societal issues with nuanced and thoughtful reflection on the subjects, sometimes in disquieting ways. While concentrating mainly on contemporary conceptual projects, Ian also has an interest in social documentary photography having based a number of his works in this field.
Ian currently works from his studio on the Essex/Cambridgeshire border where he is currently working on a number of new and diverse projects.
All of Ian's work is available to purchase - A new shop will be added to this site very soon. In the meantime please feel free to get in touch via the contact link below.
Ian can be contracted to carry out commissions, please get in contact to discuss your requirements.
