Biography

Tracey Fahy is a fine art, reportage photographer and photographic facilitator based in London. She has an extensive list of clients ranging from; art galleries, magazines & book publishers, charities, TV production companies, PR and corporate firms.

Her reportage work involves photographing various marginalised groups including refugees, individuals with special needs, children and young adults with learning and behavioural difficulties, disaffected youth, young teenage parents and the elderly.

Tracey’s fine-art practice allows her to produce images with various pinhole, low-tech and toy cameras. She is also an art promoter of the photobooth, which is another cheap, accessible and effective camera for producing portraits.

"I enjoy shooting subjects that convey simplicity and serenity and these cameras are perfect for capturing this. They allow me to record the most mundane, everyday subjects in a way that stirs emotion and induces a hazy sense of memory. I explore the issues around memory as opposed to making a precise rendering of a scene or moment to produce intriguing images that are sometimes tranquil, sometimes haunting".

Tracey recently had work displayed at the Hayward Gallery in London and has just complete work on a commission for Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
