About Selina Mayer

I am a queer, autistic visual artist working with analogue photography. Over the last ten years of my practice I have built an international network of collaborators, exploring themes of physicality, queer identity and creativity as a means of processing trauma. I use historical photographic processes to bring a tangible, tactile presence to my portraits and self-portraits. I make work that is provocative, challenging and intimate. I believe it’s important to show people and bodies as they really are, unfiltered and genuine.
In 2021 I was the category winner for Nude and Figure at the 17th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards, was awarded third prize in Photography from the Mediterranean Contemporary Art Prize and exhibited in their finalist exhibition, received a Silver award in Fine Art/Nudes from Prix de la Photographie Paris and a Bronze award from Budapest International Photo Awards, I was shortlisted for the Vienna International Photography Awards, was published in The Photo Review 2021 Competition Edition and received Honourable Mentions in 4 other awards.
In 2020 I was awarded a grant to deliver a new project for the Join the Docks Festival, for which I produced a series of glass
