ANTHEA SPIVEY

Biography

I am a half Australian and New Zealander raised in Africa. My first year was spent in the jungle of Sumatra before we moved to Tanzania in 1999. In 2005 we moved again to Senegal where I spent ten years of my childhood before going to university in the UK to study photography. My practice has centred around African culture and tradition. I was fortunate enough to witness some truly incredible things while living in two very different countries. Through my lens I want to share the stories of people I encounter and delve into cultures that a lot of people might not consider or know about. 

I am currently based in Paris and working freelance.
