Isabel MacCarthy
Photographer
Isabel MacCarthy is a freelance photographer based in London. Growing up on the north Norfolk coast taught her to appreciate the immense power of light and natural surroundings. She graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2021 with first-class honors having studied fashion communication. She continues to work on the borders of fashion, art, and documentary photography.
She is curious about people, the beauty of life, the gamut of emotions, feelings, and personalities we hold and withhold. Her work stems from coming to terms with one’s female existence, focusing on the hidden feelings and intimate moments that are often hard to explain with words.
Through daily observation, she investigates the essence of people today, analyzing humans living in a world that is developing at a rate far out of our control. Nature is deteriorating, and so are the minds of people. Manipulated by technology, people get sucked into a vortex of paranoia, anxiety, self-obsession, and warped perceptions of how to be. She aims to capture the beauty of simplicity in our ever-changing world and to recognize beauty in loss and decay.
Since graduating she has participated in group exhibitions and had work featured on AnOther Magazine and The Guardian.
