Rian is a Manchester-based photographer whose work explores identity, care, and connection.

​

His practice is firmly rooted in early experiences of remembrance and community — shaped largely by a childhood spent living behind a village churchyard, where themes of loss, ritual, and quiet care were ever-present.

​

Alongside continuing my independent practice, he works within a busy NHS hospital, working with clinical photographers and expanding his focus into medical spaces where care is both visible and unseen.

​

This has deepened his interest in how identity is preserved, supported, and sometimes erased within institutional systems.
