Serena Brown
ABOUT
Serena Brown uses the influence of her culturally diverse London upbringing to inform her creative approach. Serena emphasises her subjects at the heart of each image, creating themes of identity and representation throughout her work. Serena’s photography has led her to adopt a social documentary style captured through a fashion lens, conveying a sense of honesty and community in every project. Portraying her subjects authentically is key to her aesthetic and recent series’ Back a Yard and Class of Covid-19 both follow this tone, centring issues effecting working class youth around the UK. Recent clients include Nike, Rolling Stones Magazines, Ecco, Levi’s, Footlocker to name a few.
