Portia Sarris

Portia Sarris is an Australian Photographer, currently living in Byron Bay, NSW. Through her practice, Portia aims to create intimate bodies of work that explore themes such as adolescence and identity, whilst trying to reduce the disparity of what is felt and what is communicated. Photography forms the foundation and visual framework of her work, however the shooting process is often an experimental experience responding to the light, environment and subject. She then curates and composes the photographs, incorporating a variety of mediums and processes such as text, archival material, collaging, scanning and painting with the intention of depicting both the physical and emotional world we exist in.
