hello
Chelsea Evans is a self taught photographer living & creating on unceded Ramindjeri land, on the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia.
With a passion for documenting the at times mundane moments of everyday life, Chelsea's images offer a snapshot into life as a mother on the coast.
Often spotted soaking up sunshine and chasing after her child at the local coffee shop, Chelsea sports deep affection for her local community; the connection and warmth it brings to their family life.
Through her lens she invites the viewer to contemplate childhood, belonging and the meaning of home.
work
My work explores the everyday as a site of meaning. Focusing on the rituals, relationships, and textures that shape our personal and collective lives. Working with predominately 35mm film, I appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes into creating each image and the timeless beauty that film seems to always deliver. Using a documentary approach, I photograph families, artists, and communities in their own environments, with an emphasis on presence, intimacy, and truth.
I am drawn to domestic spaces, to the ordinary and often unseen moments that quietly define who we are: a hand reaching for another, toys scattered across a floor, the tenderness of a shared glance in the middle of chaos. I believe these moments deserve to be witnessed and remembered.
Photography, for me, is both an act of preservation and connection. It allows me to slow down, pay attention, to honour the complexity of motherhood, the messiness of being human, and the richness of everyday life. I approach each subject with deep respect and curiosity, creating work that is collaborative, responsive, and emotionally anchored.
I work across family documentary, artist portraiture, community events, and small-scale weddings. I am also beginning to exhibit my work in gallery spaces, continuing an evolving practice that sits at the intersection of personal memory, visual storytelling, and social documentation.
