Naomi James

University of Brighton MA Show, 2026
Naomi James is a South London-based photographic artist who primarily uses Polaroid film and alternative processes in her experimental practice. Her work is embedded in the materiality of the photographic medium which she uses to explore themes such as memory, grief and loss.
Drawing from personal experience and her immediate environment, theme and process are intrinsically linked. Fragility and transience are explored through physical and chemical interventions which accentuate the visual and tactile qualities of the photographic medium.
Naomi is currently completing her MA in Photography at the University of Brighton.
