Britney Pease is a photojournalist, whose practice varies from Still Life and Documentary Photography, and 35mm film.

Throughout her 3 years studying BSc (Hons) Digital Journalism Degree at Leeds Beckett University, she primarily used photography as a focus for her projects, often combining text to tell the narrative in various ways.

Previous projects that demonstrate this is entitled ‘Right to be Heard’, a hybrid photo-book focusing on deaf individuals where their portraits were taken, and their stories were told through their own perspective as a deaf individual in lockdown when face masks were made compulsory and talks about mental health, the pandemic, and life overall.

In 2020, Britney created and published an article about Captain Tom’s fundraising, and how that inspired others to start their own fundraising. The article includes interviews from individuals that were inspired by him, and his daughter, which was published on Shorthand.

Britney’s recent project focuses on The Yorkshire Ripper case, the women that were involved, and how they were sexualized for what some did to earn a living. The narrative will be told through the art of photography, shot in black and white to replicate the 1970’s methodology, alongside a set of photographs to show that these women were Human beings, told from a still life perspective.
