Portia Sarris is an Australian Photographer, currently living in Byron Bay, NSW.
Through my practice I aim to create intimate bodies of work that explore themes such as adolescence and identity, whilst trying to reduce the disparity of what is felt and what is communicated. Photography became a language I felt most comfortable speaking in, often being an experimental experience responding to the light, environment and subject. I like to incorporate a variety of mediums into my work such as text, archival material, collaging, scanning and painting with the intention of depicting both the physical and emotional world we exist in. I hope through my practice I am able to communicate what my words alone may not.
