“Chelsea Avant is a photographer who was born in Johnsonville, SC. She studied at Francis Marion University, receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts with a specialty in Photography and Visual Communications in 2013.
Her most recent series is based on domestic abuse. Its imagery is based around the narrative of a friend and has specific quotes of her story. It is a very dark body of work, meant to show the dark realities of a person in these types of partnerships. The series was meant to help people speak up or speak out, whether they are the abused or they know someone in an abusive relationship.”
