Jennifer Dos Santos is an Australian Portuguese photographer based in Lisbon.
She has worked across photography and film in Australia and Europe, including editorial, fashion, music and documentary projects. Her personal work often explores people, place and the spaces between.
My work explores people, place and moments of transformation. I am drawn to images that sit between the familiar and the strange, exploring the inner worlds that shape who we are, where we come from and who we might become.
Kangaroo Point was made in Brisbane in 2015. A lotus mandala printed by her sister appears on her back. Growing from mud and darkness, the lotus emerges into the light.
Seeds was made in Brisbane in 2018. A multiple exposure on film made in camera, the figure appears in layers, evoking movement and growth, suspended between forms.
Exorcism was made in Lisbon in 2024, in my apartment. A self-portrait from the beginning of a new life, somewhere between flight and landing.
