Sinden Collier's images are poetic and dreamy, with a tactile quality we rarely get to see in photography. They arch back to the early days of the medium, when film was used and effects were added in the darkroom.
The title of her show, “Le Réinventé” (The Reinvented), perfectly fits her work, how she reinvents her images.
Sinden Collier first experimented with film and darkroom techniques to create her multi-layered images; she now uses digital manipulations. The tools may have changed, but her artistic intent has not – her vision remains throughout. The world she creates is both romantic and nostalgic, with a bit of surrealism thrown in.

Biography
Sinden Collier became a photographer after a successful career as a singer, songwriter and musician. Recording under the Motown label gave her the opportunity to see the world.
She was always interested in photography and learned it on her own. Her unique and at time surrealist viewpoint quickly garnered her recognition and support.
Working at first with film and experimenting in the dark room, she now uses digital manipulation to create beautiful and poetic dreamscapes.
In 2001, she became the first Black female photographer to be signed by Getty Images.
In 2017, her book “Trains of Thought – Welcome Aboard” received an honorable mention in Elizabeth Avedon’s “2017 Best Photography Books.” In it, her fine art images accompany aphorisms written by her twin sister, Rhett Collier.
Her work has appeared in magazines and advertising campaigns, and received numerous awards, including “YourDailyPhotograph.com Hot 100 Photographers of 2021.”
Sinden often contributes her talent to the youth community to strengthen their self-esteem and better prepare them for the world.
