Ivory Campbell is a London-based artist working within the mediums of filmmaking, photography, and words. Her approach to storytelling focuses mainly on exploring dreamlike qualities found in the everyday, combined with natural scenery and elements. Having developed a photographic language that combines both composed and spontaneous documentary work, Ivory strives to hold truth and diversity at the heart of every image.
In the last year, Ivory has heavily rooted her practice in art and culture, working with musicians, artists, and communities across the world to tell their stories. A main focus of hers is travelling to under-represented destinations and creating articles along with photographic essays; she calls these works ‘visual diary’s’. Ivory’s first visual diary 'The Madagascar Diaries' following residents of the southeast African country’s capitals, coastal towns, and fishing villages was featured in i-D, also appearing in i-D's '2023's Best Photo Stories: Intimacy & Kinship'. Her most recent visual diary’s, Mexico Daydream and Uganda-Wading Through, were both published on Teeth Mag, with other notable features including work with Fred Perry, P. Magazine, Nataal, and SLEEK Magazine. Ivory is now a member of Thursday’s Child, and Kintzing as part of their artist roster.
