About

Shaun Connell is a Black British photographer whose work grows from being fully present with the people he meets. He is interested in the fullness of shared, everyday moments and in how memory, faith and place are carried through the body.

His practice centres intimate, relational encounters where photographs arise from conversation, trust and mutual recognition. He works in the space between participant and observer, crafting images that honour the emotional texture of ordinary gestures and the depth of Black British experience. Connell’s work has been exhibited across the United Kingdom.

Connell is currently developing a long term archive of portraits and documentary studies across Black communities in the UK. Alongside this work, he continues to build theBLKGZE, a platform dedicated to expanding visibility, recognition and community for Black photographers.
