Emilia Moisio

Emilia Moisio (born Helsinki, Finland 1983) is a freelance photographer based in London working with private and corporate assignments and her personal art projects.

Her research-based art practice is guided by an interest in exploring and questioning the role and functions of images in society and our lives, and consists of distinct, concept based photographic projects strongly focused and founded on using images as a tool to examine, analyse, develop, and articulate structured frameworks of thought. Her work critically explores the social and cultural conventions of different areas of imaging and interpretation, and investigates the persistent role of the relatively inconspicuous, historical assumptions of the inherent photographic reliability, objectivity, evidentiality, and truthfulness. Particularly concerned with conceptually disrupting the easily assumed photographic transparency in our habitual interactions with images, her most recent major work is investigating the conventions of scientific imaging and their impact on our perceptions of reality.

Primarily busy as a popular wedding photographer, she also has years of experience working with a wide scope of editorial, commercial, and corporate assignments, with work both published in newspapers, magazines, brochures, books, and on corporate websites.

She is the winner of the Troika Photography Award in 2015 and her art projects have been exhibited widely in photography and cross-media group exhibitions in UK and internationally, shortlisted for Source-Cord Prize 2014, published in Magenta Flash Forward 2015 and Silvershotz Folio 2012, and featured on LensCulture online gallery.
