Born in Hampshire, England, King serves on the board of directors for the British Institute of Professional Photography. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including UK British Professional Photographer and British Portrait Photographer of the Year, both in 2005.

Keen on extending the scope of her creative practice she is currently pursuing an MA in Fashion Photography at the prestigious London College of Fashion. She thrives on the artistic energy that propels one of the world’s most exciting capitals while also taking inspiration from her many travels across the globe.

King has worked in film in Ireland as well as the fast-paced fashion industry in Italy for Milan-based design duo DSquared. She honed her photography skills in the United States at the Maine Photographic Workshops and then with fine art photographer John Paul Capongiro. Today she produces images ranging from hyper-realistic to avant-garde abstraction that define her idiosyncratic style.

Most recently she has produced arresting images by capturing the daily life of youth in Algiers, which depict the utopian mix of fashion and football within their culture.

In addition to a body of work which includes limited edition pieces, King also works with clients on commissions and has a product line featuring images from her oeuvre.
