Beki
Cowey

Beki Cowey is a photographer and artist. Born in North Yorkshire, U.K., and most recently based in London and Helsinki. She is currently traveling and trying to figure out quite where in the world she belongs. Her photography career began in the early 2000s when she dropped out of her fashion studies, picked up a camera, and jumped on a tour bus with a friend’s band. Her work has since been published and exhibited internationally.

Having moved away from photographic practice for a number of years the pandemia forced her to refocus and realize she would only find happiness where she was creatively fulfilled. She currently works commercially as a freelance music/fashion/lifestyle photographer. Her contemporary art practice explores both those living on the fringes of society and her own life experiences. 

Current projects include The Widow centered around the tropes and stereotypes of widowhood and the processes of grief she has encountered since the death of her late partner, a documentary project exploring gentrification, touristification, and resortification of neighborhoods, and a book of her archival black & white nightlife, party, and backstage photography from the years 2004-6.
