“
GET EYES TO SEE WHAT
IS INVISIBLE AND GIVE A VOICE TO WHAT IS SILENT.
”
Damien L Williams is a UK contemporary photographer and artist who is compelled to explore identity; specifically the themes of personal and social incongruence and their effect on 'self'. Although his predominating medium is photography, a background in music, film, epistemology and education results in his process and work being inter-disciplinary in nature. Living a life of diaspora has taught him to enjoy and capture the 'moments' that shape who we are and make life more diverse. His documentarian approach forms the fulcrum of his practice irrespective of the format of his expression.

Damien Williams ARPS is profoundly interested in visualising what is often felt but not seen. His Black Other project was received well by the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain (earning him the distinction of ARPS) which was a biographical project that used a juxtaposition of archival images and poetic abstraction as a means to communicate the message. This journey started on the life-changing MA course at Falmouth University. Damien achieved his MA at Falmouth University, whilst teaching across the continuum of Creative Arts and Media in Singapore. Alongside being a photographer and teacher he has a background in video editing and short filmmaking. Outside of photography he is known for coaching/mentoring people to reach their potential, he is also skilled at organisational structures and curriculum design in education. He is an experienced speaker and workshop leader in the educational sector as a result of being an Apple Distinguished Educator since 2008.

"Damien sees the world for its bleakness and equally celebrates it as he does mourn it... He sort of smirks at the harsh realities with a light-hearted attitude to heavy-hearted matters"
