Photographer Overview
Francis Augusto (b. 1993) is an Angolan-born artist known for his observational approach to image-making. His practice, deeply influenced by his background as a refugee fleeing the civil war and his sociology degree, operates at the intersection of social research, documentary, and art. Exploring themes of self, mundanity, and interaction, Augusto's works invite viewers into the frame, as evident in his recent major project, "Songs of Love & Loss," which was awarded the Arts Council England grant in 2023. This social documentary approach to image-making is visible in his commercial and editorial work for Fuji, Nike, and Bloomberg.
Francis also lectures, mentors & critiques work.
