Shira Gold is a fine art photographer who creates images of stillness and beauty from complicated and painful moments. “My art is alert to the discomfort we all face in our daily lives,” she explains, “but I want to turn pain and angst on its side to discover the beauty that accompanies our struggles.” Drawing on her relationships as a daughter and a mother, Shira’s work explores the universal subjects of grief, change, discovery, and wonder.
Shira’s work has earned her recognition in the Lensculture Art Photography Awards, Julia Margaret Cameron Awards, The Pollux Awards, Fine Art Photo Awards, International Photography Awards and Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series amongst others.
Shira’s work has been featured in International publications, exhibited publicly as a part of Photoville’s The Fence at the 2020 Exposure Photo Festival and in several brick and mortar galleries in Europe and North America.
In her mysteriously-lit “terrariums of grief”, the natural landscape becomes a symbol for the the complicated process of mourning, as the photographer searches for a way to deal with losing her mother.
