Christy Ward - Landslide Scar in Tok Tok

5x5 Limited signed pinhole photo print on canvas substrate 

I am an interdisciplinary artist with a current focus on photography, but storytelling drives my work in every medium. In my street photography, I capture fleeting moments that hint at a larger narrative. I’ve also been exploring pinhole film photography, a slower and more deliberate process that contrasts with the spontaneity of street shooting.
My photographic work tends to fall into two modes: photojournalistic and dreamlike. Whether grounded in reality or suspended in the surreal, my images explore liminal moments—those brief, almost imperceptible spaces between one breath and the next.
The figures in my work are often women. As a gay woman, my life is naturally immersed in the presence and stories of other women, and I’m drawn to depicting their strength, beauty, and complexity through a female gaze. I aim to create images that resist traditional portrayals of women shaped by male perception, offering instead a view that feels intimate, powerful, and authentically my own.
