Amy D'Agorne is a UK and Yorkshire based photographer who graduated from her BA Photography at Edinburgh School of Art/The University of Edinburgh with First Class Hons and her MA Documentary Photography from The University of South Wales.
Since then she has worked for a variety of clients and on personal projects that have spanned the globe; from Japan to New Zealand and Canada, working for clients such as MUBI, The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal and many others.
Currently based in the North of England with frequent work in London.
Her project work primarily consists of long-form, research-based projects that play in the area between documentary and fine art photography, and investigate the prevalent issues related to climate change; such as food sovereignty, corporate agriculture, fossil fuel extraction, and the many-faceted ways that late-stage capitalism presents itself. All as seen through a feminist lens.
Available for commissions, commercial work and editorials .
