As a photographer, capturing the essence of a person is no easy task. So, when Brynley Odu Davies resolved to create a series that not only celebrated the UK’s up-and-coming contemporary artists, but their artistic output too, it could have felt like an insurmountable task. Yet the photographer was passionate about the project. “Documenting an artist in their studio space felt special and important from the very start,” Brynley says. “There was something natural and real about it, capturing the artist at ease in their own environment surrounded by their work, and in doing so telling a bit of their story.”
