Evie B is a Photographer based in Belfast, UK who has recently graduated from Ulster University with a BA in Photography with Video.

 

Evie B experiments with different modes of photography, specializing in Polaroid as she feels the instant prints capture real moments and move away from the habit of capturing the 'perfect' photo.

 

Moment's in time are slipping away, it is better to capture real happiness.

 

As an artist, I have always been captivated by the movements of the human body and the fast-paced environment that surrounds us. My work is centered around creating portraits that capture the essence of the subject, while highlighting the unique ways in which their bodies move and interact with the world around them. One of the core themes of my work is the over-sexualization of women's bodies in our society. As a woman myself, I have long been frustrated by the ways in which female bodies are objectified. My art seeks to challenge the social norms by depicting women in ways that are empowering and authentic, rather than simply as objects of desire.

 

At the heart of my practice is the belief that we should always be asking ourselves why. Why do we view bodies in certain ways? Why do we assign value to some things over others? By asking these questions, we can begin to break down the structures that have been dictating the ways in which we view ourselves and others. My photography is characterized by a sense of movement purity. I am fascinated by the ways in which bodies can express themselves through motion, and my portraits often capture my subjects in mid-action. Whether it's sensual movement or natural fast paced activity, my goal is to showcase the beauty and to show how versatile the human form is. Another key aspect of my work is my experimental approach to photography. I am constantly trying to push the boundaries of what is accepted, through the use of unconventional practices and equipment to capture images as they truly are. By blending traditional photographic practices newer technology, I am able to create images that are thought-provoking.

 

Ultimately, my art is driven by a desire to spark conversations and provoke thought. I believe that art has the power to challenge what we think and to push us out of our comfort zones, and to inspire us to see the world in new and exciting ways. Whether I am capturing the movements of a model or challenging our assumptions about the female form, my hope is that my art will encourage viewers to ask questions and to engage with the world around them in a more meaningful way.
