Emma Tempest

Born and raised in Cornwall, Emma had the good fortune of growing up by the sea, which has always been a big influence in her work. The county's dramatic coastline, sumptuous landscapes and clear light have inspired and been reflected in her work. From an early age she was surrounded by cameras, darkrooms and the smell of film stock, as her grandfather founded and ran a successful photographic business. Influenced by great filmmakers and her love for the countryside, Emma’s beautifully lit images capture a sense of beauty that portrays women in a graceful and engaging way.
