BIOGRAPHY
Photographer & Filmmaker | Documentary | Portraiture | Fashion | Advertising
Ophelia Wynne is a photographer and filmmaker known for her bright, colourful, and energetic style. Her work is accessible and full of life, bringing out something positive and authentic in her subjects. She has a deep passion for discovering colour and energy in unique individuals.
Specialising in social and cultural documentation, her personal work seamlessly spans portraiture, fashion, and advertising. Rather than simply capturing a moment, she observes how people interact, reading their expressions and reactions to bring out the best in them. She often places her subjects in a setting and allows the moment to unfold naturally—spontaneous, fun, and instinctive. While comfortable working anywhere in the world, she is based in the UK.
Ophelia is part of the group exhibition The Face: Culture Shift at the National Portrait Gallery, showcasing the club kids of the early 2000s from the trailblazing youth culture and style magazine The Face, which has shaped creative and cultural landscapes in Britain and beyond. The show features over 200 photographs and runs until May 2025.
Her long-term project documenting the Underage Festival over five years resulted in a book featuring a foreword by Craig McLean. The book placed second in the World International Photography Awards.
Over the 25 years Ophelia has been undertaking commissioned work, she has photographed the likes of Florence Pugh, ASAP Rocky, Mary J Blige, Debbie Harry, Keira Knightley, Goldfrapp, Graham Coxon, Jenny Lewis, Damien Lewis, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Claudia Winkleman, Mos Def, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jermain Defoe, Rudimental, Kevin Pietersen, Razorlight, Beth Mead, Steven Gerrard, Tom Vek and many more.
