Emilia Moisio (born Helsinki, Finland 1983) is a freelance photographer based in London and Wolverhampton, working with private and corporate assignments and her personal art projects.
Her research-based art practice is investigating and questioning the role and functions of images in society and our lives. With a series of diverse, conceptually based photographic projects, she uses images as a tool to examine, analyse, develop, and articulate structured frameworks of thought. Her work critically investigates the social and cultural conventions of different areas of imaging and interpretation, and the persistent role of the relatively inconspicuous, historical assumptions of the inherent photographic objectivity, evidentiality, and truthfulness. Particularly concerned with conceptually disrupting the easily assumed photographic transparency in our habitual interactions with images, her most recent major work is investigating the conventions of scientific imaging and their impact on our perceptions of reality.
Primarily busy as a popular wedding photographer, she also has years of experience working with a wide scope of editorial, commercial, and corporate assignments, with work both published in newspapers, magazines, brochures, books, and on corporate websites.
She is the winner of the Troika Photography Award in 2015 and her art projects have been exhibited widely in photography and cross-media group exhibitions in UK and internationally, shortlisted for Source-Cord Prize 2014, and published in Magenta Flash Forward 2015 and Silvershotz Folio 2012.
