About
 "When a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument." ~ Eve Arnold Dawne Fahey is a fine art photographer and photographic artist. She is particularly interested in the creation of fine art portraiture, urban and country landscapes. She originally studied Black & White Photography some years ago before taking up mixed media arts. She recently completed a Master of Documentary Photography at Sydney College of Arts, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia and more recently studied alternative photographic printing processes in New York and Australia. Dawne's photographs have appeared locally, nationally, and internationally in awards, exhibitions and publications. She was recently the winner of the Nadar Award for Students and the Fine Art Category winner with the World Gala Photography Awards. Dawne is currently represented by CAN Gallery New York. Dawne's work highights an intense curiosity between self and other, in an exploration of the intersection between cultural immersion, light, identity, landscape, personal meanings, time and sensability. She is currently working experimentally with textures in digital imagery, and handmade cyanotype and gum bichromate alternative photographic print processes.
