Inside the unseen with photographer Rosie Barnes

12/07/22 • 47 min

I first came across Rosie Barnes's photography through her exhibition ‘No you’re not’ a striking series of portraits and statements from autistic women who have been successful in academia and business. Two images from this series have been included in the prestigious Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Gallery in London. Rosie is a documentary and fine art photographer with a particular interest in our relationship with the natural world. She also makes work about disability, difference, community and family. She has exhibited internationally, most recently in Sweden and China and has been commissioned by the Guardian, the FT, and the Wellcome Collection, amongst others.

We talk about her work and the images of autistic women, the value of shyness, Rosie’s route into photography, her funny, haunting work around nature and our relationship to it, what it’s like to see her work exhibited on a huge scale, and Rosie’s fascinating project to create a truly integrated, community housing project.
