Emily June Smith, based in Romford, is a neurodivergent visual artist whose work diverges from traditional documentary photography to delve into personal and social contexts.

As someone with dyslexia, Smith's artistic practice serves as a medium through which she communicates her unique perspective on life.

Having personally experienced the challenges of living with a neurological disability, Smith is deeply passionate about amplifying the voices of misunderstood and underrepresented communities, shedding light on topics that often go under-explored.

Through her art, Smith strives to authentically represent herself and those who have been marginalised by society.

In 2023, Smith joined the Zinnia Collective.
