Fatima Mian is a self-taught, multi-disciplinary artist and photographer based in London. Her creative journey has taken her from photography to painting and digital art, evolving into a unique practice that combines these mediums into limited edition abstract prints. Her background in graphic design, taught her how to visually communicate ideas and she enjoys playing with a combination of image, colour and layout to create a character and/or narrative for each of her pieces.

Fatima’s creative exploration began behind the camera, where her love for immersing herself in diverse environments inspired a journey in visual storytelling. This appreciation for capturing stories—whether through the lens of documentary-style travel photography, destination photography, or cultural travel photography—stems from her passion for cinema, and extends into her work in abstract painting and digital art. Fatima regularly exhibits her art in numerous exhibitions - to stay up to date on her upcoming shows, sign up for email updates or scroll down to view upcoming exhibitions.

In addition to her artistic exhibitions, Fatima is also a professional photographer available for hire for headshots, lifestyle portraits, and commercial photography. Her love for working with people is the driving force behind her creative approach - Fatima ensures each session is both collaborative, impactful, and tailored to build and capture the brand that clients envision.

Her work has been celebrated internationally: in 2024, Fatima earned a place in the Official Selection for the International Photography Awards. Previously, she was a finalist in the 2023 Visual Artist Association Professional Artist Award and was long-listed for the Women United Art Prize. In 2020, her talents earned her a shortlist for the Landscape Photographer of the Year and finalist recognition in The Independent Photographers’ "People" Award, with her work featured in their Talents of the Year magazine.
