Esther Linder

Esther Linder is a photojournalist, reporter and writer living on Gadigal Country (Sydney) in Australia. During her stay at the Fish Factory, she worked with black and white analogue film; making, developing and printing images in the darkroom, working with fellow artists and Stöðvarfjörður residents on a series of portraits.

She is interested in how individuals and communities build narratives separately and together, and how photography and people interact. "I am particularly grateful to the team at the Fish Factory for giving me the space to dive back into the red light of the darkroom, lending me their equipment and time -- utmost thanks to Lucas -- and to everyone who let me and my camera into their world for a moment as part of the residency."
