Meg Hewitt

Meg Hewitt was born in 1973 in Sydney, Australia and formally studied sculpture, painting and temporal media. She took up photography in 2010 and since then has been selected as a finalist in the Moran Prize for Contemporary Photography, the Head On Landscape Prize, the 2016 Lensculture Street Photography Awards and the inaugural Maggie Diaz Photography Prize for Women.

In 2017 she was named fringe artist of the year at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale and was highly commended in the Australian Photobook of the Year awards for her debut photobook 'Tokyo is Yours'.

In 2016 she was also awarded a silver medal from the Prix de la Photographie, Paris, and in 2018 a gold medal from the Tokyo International Foto Competition.

After the success of her series 'Tokyo is Yours' she has decided to now turn her lens on America.

Her work focuses on the people and places in front of her, and the emotions and desires that connect the photographer, her subjects and their audiences.
