Biography

From as far back as his earliest childhood memories, photographer Ki Price experienced an overwhelming sense of estrangement from the world around him. But this deeply felt sense of disconnection, intensified by his contempt for the dull monotony of conventional society, changed the moment he picked up a camera and made his way to London. The man with a camera recalls: “I’m from a cute but boring seaside town called Charmouth and ran away with the fair, before making my way to London. Acid House had just exploded and I loved it; I immediately became a part of it. The sense of unity and being part of something like that was amazing. It was what I felt I’d been searching for all my life.”

After a lengthy period engaged with current affairs working with Reuters, The Times, AFP, Price tuned his art to fashion and celebrity portraits, honing his craft and merging his subcultural interests together with meticulous attention to detail. Inspired by mid-twentieth century realism and innovative, iconic fashion photographers, Price took his work to another level: “I got into editorial after being inspired by people like Weegee . I’ve always been fascinated by fashion, subculture and counterculture. I was inspired by people like Richard Avedon and Guy Bourdin, the richness of colour and the playfulness of sex.”
Price’s work can be seen around European Cities in Museums and international magazines from The Times, Vogue & Vanity Fair.
