Kelly Champion is an award-winning photographer and visual artist from the Adelaide Hills, South Australia.
Her lifelong love of everything creative led to Kelly graduating from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Visual Arts. After living in England for several years in her early 20s, Kelly settled back in Adelaide and pursued her artistic career. In 2012 she began her photography business.
Kelly Champion photographs humanity. More than just a technician, she is a collector of memories, and an acute observer of the nuances of human interaction. Whether it is love and laughter or the serious moments of personal crisis, she turns her lens towards her subjects with passion, understanding and commitment to telling their stories. Kelly’s love of documentary photography carries over into her work and a family and wedding photographer where she is sought after to capture the emotional connection between her clients.
Kelly is currently exploring both oil and acrylic paint – occasionally with the addition of charcoal, currently in the form of abstract landscapes and still life compositions. A self taught painter, Kelly uses colour, layers and texture to convey her subject, guided by the feel of the paint and the essence of the piece she is creating.
