About Sarah Furniss Photography
My work is heavily influenced by documentary and street photography, and I am most interested in capturing furtive smiles, telling glances and touching moments. I am inspired by Shirley Baker, Vivian Maier and Berenice Abbott, all of whose work I love. Baker in particular had very similar views about photography to mine, preferring quotidian scenes rather than photographs of celebrities, along with unposed, spontaneous moments instead of set-ups. I have been a photographer since 2014 and have a First Class Photography Degree from the Open College of the Arts/University of the Creative Arts (2021). From September, 2021, I will be studying for MA in Photography: Practices and Philosophies at St. Martins (UAL)*. I used to work as an actor before having a brief stint marketing in the City. I have three children and live in London.
