Imogen Levin

Imogen Levin is a London-based curator and photographer whose work explores themes of gender and memory. Through her projects, she examines intimacy, nostalgia, and the ways images can connect people through shared experience. 

Working primarily with photographers whose practices are conceptually driven, Levin’s curatorial approach creates spaces that balance softness and frank candidness within the larger conversation of contemporary photography. Her work stems from a desire to redefine the cultural portrayal of girlhood, which she sees as underexplored in both contemporary art and popular media. She often structures her curatorial projects like chapters in a book, expanding on a narrative approach that encourages dialogue between the work and the viewer. 

In her photographic practice, Levin focuses on quiet, introspective moments. She photographs girls in familiar spaces, creating portraits that feel both private and open. Working with both digital and analogue photography, often shooting on her Minolta X-700, Levin is drawn to the texture and colour of film, using it to craft images that feel warm and sincere. Many of her portraits are taken in bedrooms or domestic settings, using natural light and subdued tones to maintain a sense of realism and emotional depth. 

By combining research with visual storytelling, Levin builds environments, both curatorial and photographic, that feel reflective, emotive, and deeply human.
