Eva Canessa

Eva Canessa is a London-based visual artist specialising in photography, with a practice rooted in experimentation, fashion, and alt-street culture. Her most recent work explores themes of queer freedom, self-expression, and nostalgia—particularly through the lens of 1980s aesthetics and the influence of synthesizer music.

With a sharp eye for post-production and visual storytelling, Canessa’s photographic style often blends vibrant colours, digital manipulation, and stylised composition to create bold, immersive imagery. She is especially drawn to capturing the spirit of subcultures, using her lens as a tool for empowerment and visibility.

Canessa has curated exhibitions and collaborated on creative projects across London’s underground queer scene, including music events and interdisciplinary showcases. Her work reflects a commitment to building inclusive visual narratives and documenting the intersections of identity, fashion, and sound.

As she continues to evolve her practice, Canessa aims to push the boundaries of photographic form and explore the role of visual media in shaping cultural memory and self-representation.
