Artist Research: Niamh Stanton
Niamh Swanton is an Irish Photographer from Dunmore, Waterford (Which is where i’m from lol). She is a performative photographer who focuses on the human condition. Interested in philosophy and psychology she focuses on human behaviour and the lasting effects of youth. Her use of colour and humour is very striking to me.
I actually have worked with Niamh and have spoken with her about creative direction and I was shocked to learn that all of her works are self portraits but deliberately does not show her face.
For my project, and especially for the photography workshop, I definitely want to do some sort of self portrait because I usually stray away from them (self conscious???? probs). Sort of the opposite of what Niamh does but keeping humour and human condition included.
Niamh’s website is www.niamhswanton. com, you can find her work there.
