Bettina von Kameke MA - LSP Trainer - Professional Photographer
Bettina graduated at Central St Martin School of Art & Design and began a remarkable and fascinating
journey in
Documentary Photography in 2001. Her work investigates enclosed communities, their life, rituals and their
identities.
From sailing with 31 Burmese merchants from England to South Africa, to an Enclosed Order of Benedictine
Nuns
Convent, to travelling with the famous Circus Humberto through the Czech Republic. In 2008 Bettina was invited
to
an artist’s residency at Christ Church College in Oxford to produce 101 Portraits representative of the Christ Church
Community. Her latest and truly outstanding work
explores a community of male prisoners at HMP Wormwood Scrubs.
"In my work I question and explore the interior and exterior conditions, means and forces, which
make a communal
life sustainable. An enclosed community is generally based on shared religious, commercial or traditional
values.
The camera either still or moving creates a distance but at the same time allow
me to enter the subjects’ intimacy/
privacy. The camera functions as an interface between myself and the world
outside and becomes my second skin". www.vonkameke.com
