Photographer, video maker, mother and compost enthusiast. Extremely fond of analogue film. Usually found in the studio or wandering around town looking at things in a weird way.

Born in 1988 in Rugby, UK, now based in Coventry in the West Midlands. I have been exploring photographic imagery, written word, collage, audio and video through diaristic practices from a very young age. I graduated with a First Class BA [Hons] in Photography from Coventry University in 2016 and have exhibited prints and moving image across the UK.

I carefully collect and archive observations of the places I find myself in and in doing so seek to playfully highlight, maintain, introduce or restore the inconspicuous beauty within moments occurring during day-to-day life. I am committed to using analogue methodology with a deep passion for the materiality of film and video tape. I love plant-life, taking unplanned walks, elusive moods of stillness and balance, topographical and urban themes and since my child was born in 2017, representations of mothers and maternal figures.

Please see my website for an overview of the various commissions and projects I have undertaken over the years: http://adelemreed.co.uk/

Between 2019 and 2021 I curated a collection of 35mm imagery depicting motherhood: https://www.instagram.com/35mmotherhood/

I facilitate Mothers Who Make - Coventry Hub as part of the Coventry Biennial creative team - a peer support network and making space for any kind of maker, and any kind of mother.
