Interiors that look safe at first reveal a subtle unease on closer inspection. My focus lies in the psychological friction of daily life — the hidden pressure, the unspoken, the things that never surface. Each image withholds just enough to let viewers confront the gaps themselves.
ABOUT
jennifer mclain,
photographer working with staged interiors and psychological space. My images balance on the line between the familiar and the uncanny: rooms that seem safe at first glance but reveal tension, traces and emotional residue on closer inspection.
I’m interested in what daily life keeps underneath the surface — the pressure, the expectations, the unspoken. By withholding narrative clues, the photographs leave meaning open; viewers are invited to complete the story rather than receive one.
My visual language developed while living in Hamburg, London and Barcelona, where I later studied photography. What began as a self-taught practice turned into a structured exploration of atmosphere, memory and the architecture of emotion.
My work has been shown internationally, including at LUMA Arles as a finalist for the Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award (2023). Further exhibitions include BBA Gallery Berlin, Nuit de la Photo (CH), Giovane Fotografia Italiana, and Lumínic Festival Barcelona.
Limited-edition prints are available in 160×90 cm and 70×40 cm on Fine Art Baryta 325g. Additional sizes can be arranged on request.
