Carolyn Mendelsohn is an artist and portrait photographer whose practice is rooted in telling stories and amplifying those quieter voices through co-produced portraits. Her portrait work has been exhibited internationally, within many solo and group shows.  She has been selected for the BJP’s Portrait of Britain and the RPS’s IPE, as well as winning first prize for the  IPE 159, The Kuala Lumpa International Portrait Awards 2021, and being named the winner of the Portrait Series category for the 15th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards.

She is recognised internationally for her work with young people, including her exhibition and book ‘Being Inbetween’ (2020), a series of portraits and stories of girls aged between 10-12 years, and Through Our Lens, an initiative that was developed during the pandemic.

Carolyn is currently a freelance photographer and the artist in Residence for Born In Bradford. She is working on BiB Age of Wonder – Teenage Stories – a seven-year project capturing the journey of teenagers in Bradford, alongside this she works on personal projects, and portrait commissions.
