Willie Franklin is a photographer based in London, UK. His poetic and surreal images explore the collisions we have between our built and natural environments. Influenced by his California upbringing and background in design, Willie’s work examines and interrogates how ecology and technology intersect with everyday life.

In January of 2025 he will complete his MA Photography from UWE Bristol.

He is available for commissions and collaborations.
