Ballarat International Foto Biennale: I Love Campbell

Campbell Addy's images are about the beauty of humans, about difference, about being seen. This international photographer's work has won many awards, including the prestigious Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator in 2023.

His first solo exhibition, I love Campbell, premiered in London in 2023, blending photography, painting, and film within an immersive space designed by British-Cameroonian designer Ibby Njoya. Now, exclusively reimagined at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale 2025, I love Campbell presents Addy's most compelling works, including the self-portrait John Baptist, striking fashion images, and the film Decolonise My Tongue with Love, shot in Ghana exploring love and identity.

His work has featured in magazines including Dazed, i–D, Rolling Stone Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Time and Vogue, and campaigns for global brands including YSL, Cartier, Apple and MAC. A graduate of Central Saint Martins College of Art, Addy is one of the few Black photographers uplifting Black models and talent in the fashion industry.

His unique artistic vision – marked by rich cultural narratives, dynamic movement, and bold compositions – has redefined contemporary fashion photography. His work has graced the covers and editorials of leading magazines, portraying icons such as Naomi Campbell, Beyoncé, and Lizzo.
