Shamani Surendran
Shamani was born in Malaysia and prior to moving to the UK resided in Australia for several years. She lives with her family in Wimbledon and is a keen photographer. She has always been interested in taking photos but became passionate about photography in 2020, during the pandemic, whilst on solitary walks with her beloved dog Flint.
Shamani sees photography as a way to capture a unique moment, never to be repeated, different from the time before and different from the time ahead. It allows her to translate her observations visually onto paper so that others may interpret what she has seen. It is often exciting when someone notices something totally different whilst looking at the same subject – a face in a tree, a shape in a shadow, a story in a reflection – and provokes the question “What is it we truly see in front of us?”.
Her work has been exhibited in several galleries in the US and a number of her images have been featured in limited edition photo books. Her bird series “and there were more, there always are” has been shortlisted for the Royal Photographic Society’s International Photographic Exhibition in January 2024.
