About
SHAN RIXON | PHOTOGRAPHER | ARTS EDUCATION
I am a photographer, don’t forget, I write with Light (Abbas, Tehran, 1977)
I am a British photographer from London who studied photography at the London College of Communication and photojournalism at the award-winning Danish School of Media & Journalism in Aarhus, Denmark.
With an education in both anthropology as well as photography and with extensive frontline experience working in the UK human rights sector, I am drawn to visual narratives that are connected to personal identity, community and social justice. Photography provides me with a powerful way to combine these interests and as a means to cultivate ideas and encourage new debates.
Conscientious, articulate and with a real desire to facilitate change and understanding, I split my time between photography commissions, personal documentary work and innovative arts education for young people and adults.
