Anabela Pinto

Photographer

Anabela Pinto is a Portuguese artist and photographer living in London. Her practice reflects her interest in the relationship between people and technologies, consumer culture and desire, and its subsequent effect on the aesthetics of our daily living surroundings. Through the use of color and light, props and objects of interest, her current work plays with the potential of mise-en-scène and explores the narrative qualities and possibilities of the photographic image. The constructed scenes hover between the visual tropes of the cinematic language and those concerning commercial photography sensibilities. Recent honors include being laureate for the Dior Photography Award for Young Talents and Life Framer’s Series Award winner with her series ‘Precious Things’. Her work has been exhibited internationally and she is studying for a MA in Photography at the Royal College of Art.
