Travys Owen

Within the vibrant world of his bold aesthetic, Travys Owen's work explores alternative approaches to image-making that heighten emotional connection and visual impact. Specialising in movement and surreal portraiture, he's constantly experimenting with new ways to make an image resonate beyond its surface.

He works across both still and moving image, guided intuitively by the connection and collaboration he shares with his subjects, treating the people he photographs as active participants in the process rather than passive sitters. That relationship-driven approach gives his portraiture a distinctly personal quality, whatever the medium.

Originally from South Africa and now based in New York City, Owen draws on his design background to merge graphic sensibility with a deep appreciation for portraiture and the human form, a combination that continues to shape his evolving visual language.
