Abby Quick

Portrait and documentary photographer, filmmaker and writer in worlds of myth, based between Berlin and Scotland. Moving between the realms of personal practice and commissions to create poetic and sensitive portraits of a subject or environment, I explore with intimacy themes of spirituality, folk belief, ecology, belonging and transcendence, held in the space between worlds of the material and intangible. Through photography and film, I have experience working in various realms but especially within music, dance, non-profit and arts organisations. Previous projects include ‘Nymphaea Alba’ a dance film exploring girlhood, alienation and body politics within a mythic context, film-poems ‘Silver’ surrounding the life of a water sprite that lives inside of a granite quarry, and ‘Tentative Recollections (In Darkness, It Gleams)’ imagining the feeling of holding a memory in the palm of your hand. abbybeatricequick.com
