ROWENA MEADOWS
Rowena is a psychologist turned documentary and commercial photographer, born with an unavoidable inclination to observe, an intense discomfort with perfection and a desire to understand and deconstruct human identities. She sees her work with families as an opportunity to reflect, reframe and shift the way they see themselves, both as a system and as individuals. Applying the philosophies of narrative therapy to her work, Rowena seeks to understand and reflect both dominant and previously un-storied aspects of identity. This approach led her to place first in the documentary category of Australia’s Top Emerging Photographers in 2018. She has also had work selected for the Head On Portrait Prize, Australian Photography Awards (Stories, Portrait and Documentary categories), International Documentary Family Awards and This is Reportage Family (International Photographer of the Year, 2020).
