SOO BURNELL

Soo Burnell is an Edinburgh-born photographer whose work explores stillness, transience, and the emotional resonance of place. Drawing inspiration from architecture, public spaces, and the relationship between figures and their surroundings, Burnell creates meticulously composed images that balance structure with serenity. Her acclaimed practice began with a fascination for historic swimming pools and has since taken her across the UK, Europe, and Japan, photographing distinctive architectural and cultural spaces.

Her collection Between Sea and Sky explores the fleeting chapters between the familiar and the unknown. Figures appear suspended in moments of closeness and separation, reaching toward the past while moving into what lies ahead. Tender and quietly cinematic, the series reflects on the flow of life, the instinct to hold on, and the uncertainty of letting go. Burnell’s photography has been exhibited internationally and is represented by galleries worldwide.
