Photography centred on notions of place and culture
Louise Long is a photographer, writer and publisher based in Hackney, London. Her work centres on ideas of place and culture, through a combination of research, writing and image-making.
Louise’s work has been published widely in editorial and book form, exhibited across the UK, Europe and the US, and shaped through a number of international artist residencies. In 2022, Louise founded Linseed Journal, an independent print publication rooted in ‘cultural entanglement’; uniting diverse contributions from across six continents. Louise holds an MA in Fine Art Photography from the Royal College of Art and a BA in Art History from Cambridge University.
Forwander series
Forwander translates as 'to wander away, to go astray.' The works, including Skelf (splinter), Drow (mist), and Lipper (ripple), are all hand-printed, medium-format photographs. The series was created during a trip to the Isle of Mull in 2018 and has been printed for the first time as an edition for COLD PARADISE. The titles come from old Scottish phrases and are meant to suggestisolated scenes from these seemingly simple landscape compositions.
