Corrie Jennison (She/Her)

I am an artist and photographer, originally from the Highlands of Scotland where the environment around me gives me inspiration for what I do.
My work centres around detail; often small and intricate subject matter. I am an avid photographer with a fine eye for detail, working mainly in both small and medium format film. In addition to this, a huge passion of mine is illustration, and I enjoy incorporating this along with my love of different printing methods in my work.

Much of my photography contains symbolism, often leading back to the happiness and quaint atmosphere of my home environment. Sometimes even surrounding a magical, surreal feel to my photography.

I have now been working and learning as a photographer for six years. Due to this, I have a great deal of knowledge of the technical side of photography. I have worked with commercial and studio work for the first two of these years and have a great knowledge of Adobe applications.

Working in sketchbooks is one of my favourite parts of my practice, Of course, I have also had the benefit of being able to explore the creative side of photography, and over the last four years of being a photographer I have experienced the freedom of experimentation. Both these sides of photography have really pushed me to become the photographer and artist I am today.

Degree Show 2023 – REM

This series of photographic images convey a surreal and unnerving waking dream. The work is based on it being psychically impossible to photograph our dreams, so what really makes an image ‘dream-like’? The techniques which were used when shooting these images are to evoke that dream feeling in the viewer, to let them interpret the work in their own way to relate it to personal experiences when dreaming. To create a magical realism where something feels ever so slightly off, the absence of something can be more eerie than the thing itself. A mixture of 35mm, 120mm and digital images.
