Francesca Giaitzoglou-Watkinson is an Athens based photographic artist.
She completed her studies in Photography and Audiovisual Arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design in Athens and has been working as a photographer since 2015. Her work tends to explore social issues surrounding identity and gender through photography. Her main aim through portraiture is to capture the essence of the subject, conveying their character and ultimately telling their story. Alongside her socially engaged work, she develops deeply immersive and intensely personal projects that draw from her own experiences of belonging, memory, and trauma. Her practice is rooted in long-term, research-led projects that function as extended acts of introspection, using photography as a psychological and emotional tool through which she examines processes of self-understanding and transformation.
