About the Creator
I (Francis Minien) am a British artist and photographer based in New York City. An Associate of Britain’s Royal Photographic Society (ARPS), I hold an MA in Photography (2005) and a BA in History and Media Studies (1999), both from De Montfort University in the UK. And it is primarily these disciplines that inform my artistic practice today. Although I have traveled extensively and produce much of my photography while on the road, I would argue that my approach has very little in common with the travel photography genre. Unconcerned with the specifics of place - indeed I obstinately refuse to disclose locations - I operate sine loco, in the hope that this might free my photographs from the subjugation of culturally-specific readings. My work is held in numerous private and corporate collections and I have published and exhibited widely, resulting in several prestigious awards.
