📖 London. Xenia McBell

Born in 1985 in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, Xenia McBell currently lives and works in London. She studied Philology at Saint Petersburg State University, Russia (2005); Economics at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK (2009); and Photography at the London College of Communication, UK (2010). Photography is a self-thought passion. Inspired by the works of authors such as Sarah Moon, Diane Arbus, Peter Witkin and Paolo Roversi, she experiments with collage, photo-montage and light drawing techniques, and focuses her photographic practice on catching ephemeral moments of reality, trying to express the subconscious.
