This Modern Photographer Is Building A Name For Herself — On Social Media

Finch’s disposition to self-reflection originally led her to pursue a career in philosophy, but her first encounter with a camera was something special. She committed to a 365-day self-portrait project as a way to learn about cameras and try her hand at the craft. Recognizing her talent, she did graduate work in photography at San Francisco’s Art Institute to further her skills and build her confidence. Bex has since become a darling of Instragram (185,000 followers and counting!), garnering the attention of many brands and publications, and further solidifying her reputation for creating tender, insightful images, including her series The Sleepwalker, which documents her father’s progression into Alzheimer’s and her coping with the disease.
