Artist
Lily Bertrand-Webb
Lily Bertrand-Webb is a West London-based artist from Dominican and English heritage. From a young age, photography and film have helped her overcome the difficulties of losing her hearing. Never one to be held back, she taught herself to lipread and celebrates her other senses through the visual representation of her experience of the world as a half-deaf and half-hearing person.
She graduated from Bournemouth Arts Institute in 2011 with a BA Photography degree and took part in an internship with artist and filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson. She went on to work for a photography gallery in Fitzrovia alongside Dorothy Bohm.
Lily's Style
Lily is fascinated by the honest and dynamic portraits of the youth of photographers like Nan Goldin, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Juergen Teller as well as the icons of the surrealist movement, Man Ray, Lee Miller, and Picasso among many. Her work is influenced by these artists, translating these vibrant characteristics into her own portraits of urban and rural Britain.
"My photographs celebrate the jewels of Britain, the cityscapes and country life. A collection of modern day Britain, urban and rural, daytime outdoors stuff as well as fashionable nightlife shots. From the urban London streets to the rural Yorkshire Moores, wild Cornish Heath, wild Cornish waves."

Eye Spy is an ongoing series of photographic images following the simple yet important notion of looking up. Using the camera as a tool to observe architecture and nature within the modern world. She asks the viewer to stop their tracks and take in the mundane but mystical moments that passes us by. In this series, Bertrand-Webb observes natures, urban buildings and clouds by shooting from below creating complex images that push these architectural features toward blissful abstraction.
The Precious Stone
"‘This Precious Stone’ is a photographic series of the peoples, landscapes and memories of Britain through my eyes. Inspired by the line “this precious stone set in the silver sea” from Shakespeare’s Richard II, the collection celebrates the jewels of Britain, from the city to the countryside / urban and rural." - Lily Bertrand-Webb, The Precious Stone
