Betty Oxlade-Martin

Betty Oxlade-Martin (b. 1996, ) is a portrait and fashion photographer based in London. Her work can be distinguished by its sensitive, feminine approach, exposed through natural yet contrasting light and rich, raw colours. Working with traditional medium format film techniques, she enjoys capturing lighthearted, tender moments that illustrate womanhood, identity, and the beautiful complexities within the people around us. Betty often reflects on her childhood and teen years spent in dance education through visual queues in lighting, dress, props and art direction across her fashion and documentary works. She finds interest in how we play out our identities whether they are group or singular. Seeking fashion styles, mannerisms, idiosyncrasies, and rituals which unite individuals as a collective, inviting her audience to find pleasure in how we strive to stand out whilst pining to belong.
