Anouska Beckwith is a fine art photographer, director and creative who lives and works in Somerset, UK.

Born in England, she spent her early years travelling. Driven by her search for the mystical and with a desire to capture the wonder she experienced along the way, her camera was never far from hand. After graduating from Speos Photographic Institute in Paris 2012, Beckwith went on to form the female collective of artists World Wide Women.

Beckwith’s work is wholly influenced by her own appreciation for the natural world, a self described disciple of Mother Earth.

Expressing herself through photography, art and film; nature and the feminine are enduring themes while Beckwith's work inspires a romantic and otherworldly feel.

The power of nature and the feminine are often present throughout Beckwith’s work, manifesting in photographs which communicate a world of dramatic beauty, the ethereal and recall the paintings of the Romantics and early Surrealist photography. Aesthetically, Beckwith's photographs celebrate the seductive power of nature and the exquisite possibilities of photography, however her work also carries deeper undertones exploring the human relationship to the cosmos.

While themes of reincarnation and natural change are omnipresent factors behind Beckwith’s work, in terms of her materiality she often pushes the boundaries of photographic convention: painting into, embroidering, over exposing and reworking her images for a dreamlike effect. Natural materials come in to play with gold leaf and delicate butterfly wings which are added to the face of the photograph. Beckwith’s muses emerge with striking pre-Raphaelite composures, often appearing to meld with their organic environments. For her most recent exhibition At the Altar of Time she had her photographs reimagined as tapestries, printing on silk and glass transporting the viewer back to one of her favourite eras in the style of the leading women who inspired Millais and Rossetti.

Her body of work focuses on both the power of the feminine and the beauty and spirit of nature. These two things are completely interconnected. The strength and power of water, in all its forms, the magnificence of the roots of ancient trees, the delicate beauty of flowers, these natural elements at the centre of Beckwith’s work are illuminated by the female form at the centre of them. The human presence allows the viewer a way into the picture... we are invited to lose ourselves in the natural realms.

Beckwith’s work is also a homage to female wisdom, it shines a light on the nature of the woman to protect Mother Earth, to love and honour the planet.
