Emily Gilhespy’s love for photography was borne out of a desire to immortalise the moments she experienced while travelling. She bought her first FUJIFILM camera to document a backpacking trip through Nepal and hasn’t looked back. Since then, she has developed a passion for portrait photography; her compelling work seeking to preserve “those authentic moments when a person drops their gaze, leaving a facial expression that is governed simply by their thoughts and feelings”. By combining her skills in portraiture with a love of documentary photography, Emily’s goal is to use her art to deliver stories in authentic and accessible ways.
