Rachel Irving

Bio

Rachel Irving is a photographer who has never been pinned down. She has lived a nomadic life, moving between her native England, the United States, Canada and other European cities. Perhaps as a result of the constant movement, she is interested in the impermanent and the ephemeral, the fleeting emotions on children's faces, the blurry edges of cities, natural, transitory lighting.

A resident of Toronto, Canada for four years now, Rachel is currently focused on portraiture and teaching aspiring photographers, young and old. Students who are interested in the elemental and the elusive will enjoy Rachel's passionate, but casual, style.

Testimonial

Rachel inhabits a fantastic world where nothing is as it seems. In Rachel's world, a simple walk on the beach might well take you on a journey through an unusual imagination; or an ordinary dress dummy become the reincarnation of an eccentric past. You can never be sure who, or what, you will meet in Rachel's world, but a visit is never in vain. See for yourself; her camera and her words provide the map.
