Bio
Annah Kim Nelson-Feeney is a fine art and street photographer based in Seattle, Washington. She has been a practicing photographer for over a decade and grew up studying theater, violin, and classical ballet in Massachusetts.
Currently, Annah lives and works in Seattle but has spent extensive time around the US in Boston, Chicago, New York, and San Francisco which helped her develop her current practice in Street Photography. She uses this practice and medium to portray the breadth and depth of the human condition, beauty in melancholy, and the absurdity of rules. Her work is meant to produce social commentary and internal dialogue on how we relate to ourselves and the world around us.
Annah is involved more broadly in the local arts community in Seattle as the President of the Board of Directors for local non-profit Living Artists Collective. Outside of the arts, she maintains hobbies and interests in the backcountry, tattoos, food & beverage, and music.
Artist Statement
Photography has been an integral part of my life since childhood. My family took photos as almost a daily practice and thus generated crates of shoe boxes filled with photographs from rolls of film and disposable cameras.
As I grew up and advanced through high school and college, I integrated a photography practice into my own life. In college and later years, I was fortunate enough to do extensive solo travel and independent study throughout Europe and Asia. During these trips, I used a Sony point-and-shoot to take as many pictures as I could. The gradual refinement of my skills and cultivation of taste propelled my interest into a tangible hobby. I moved onto more sophisticated cameras and lenses but remarkably, some of my favorite and most popular images are the ones I took on that Sony point-and-shoot.
Over the years, my inspiration has changed and adapted to my evolving practice. As a college student, I was primarily inspired by war and documentary photography. I gravitated to purposeful storytelling and documentation of the human condition. Later, this translated into a strong affinity for street photography for similar but less extreme reasons.
My current photographic portfolio spans street, conceptual, and fine art photography. My practice is intentional and my work has editorial and minimalist qualities. While my artistic trajectory has evolved and expanded over the years, it is still my primary objective as an artist to document the breadth and depth of the human condition.
