Sydney based Fine Art Photographer Kirsty Semaan’s photography, is inspired by the form and nature of humans of all ages. Her love affair with her Hasselblad has led Kirsty to work primarily with medium format, black-and-white film and develop a keen eye for the formality of the square image.
Since 2001, Kirsty’s work has been featured both in the UK, USA and Australia in various group and solo exhibits. Kirsty’s photographs have received award recognition and are included in several private collections internationally.
