Francesca Canty

Born in England, 2005.

Local to Cambridge

I am currently a student at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge school of art studying BA (hons) Photography, due to graduate in 2026. I have a passion for photography and video making. I have a YouTube platform with 10K subscribers. I gained experience in a role as a media and technical assistant with STL podcasts a studio in Cambridge in collaboration with STL Stays.

I was diagnosed with Irlen's Syndrome (which involves difficulty reading) at a young age and found my passion through art subjects at school. As soon I could choose photography I did, I participated in the subject when I was fifteen at level 2, moved onto level 3 photography at college and then chose to develop this into taking a university degree course. I have thought about future options after university, I am still learning and open to exploring my options.

I worked on a small project in first year of my degree looking into the political subject of feminism using self-portraiture. This topic is something I am really close with due to being a victim of stalking when I was sixteen. I want to use my photographic voice as a tool to connect with people and tell stories through the projects created. 

I am not as of yet settled on a photographic genre, but I do enjoy documenting the world around me, using my mirrorless Canon camera.
