Photographer Overview
Megan Winstone works in fashion and editorial photographer. Megan is a photographer from the South Wales Valleys, who lives and works in Cardiff.
Working in the space between documentary and editorial photography, creates stand-out imagery and art films that often follow themes of social activism and feminist theory. Through responding to contemporary Feminism, constructs situations that makes the viewer uncomfortable, such as juxtaposing beauty editorials with menstruation. This forward-thinking makes's work notable as it creates conversation, and provokes questions. Other topics featured are upskirting, free the nipple, fat phobia and body dysmorphia. Being a young, female Welsh photographer is still underrepresented in the industry, so challenges this with exposing inequality and taking fearless action. South Wales is a major part of Megan’s work - collaborating with her home community in Rhondda Cynon Taf, for the fashion editorial ‘Lily of the Valley’, published with It’s Nice That, exploring variations of womanhood in ‘Fenyw’, exhibited widely with Ffotogallery and her forthcoming feature ‘Tipi Valley’ with The Face magazine. Previously been listed as a ‘photographer to watch’ by Lens Culture and has appeared in selected features both online and print: DAZED digital, Vogue Photo, OUT, Akin and many others. Megan has also modelled in LOVE magazine and W.
