I’m Bella Whitty, a photographer working primarily in street, skate, and documentary photography. I started photographing in my local skate park, where I became interested in capturing movement, subcultures, and the hidden communities that exist outside the mainstream.
My work is rooted in documentary and street practices, focusing on real moments, raw energy, and lived experience. I often use direct flash to freeze dynamic scenes, embracing imperfection and intensity to tell honest visual stories. Whether photographing skaters, musicians, or fighters, I aim to capture the atmosphere around them, not just the action, but the people, emotions, and environments that shape it.
I’ve worked as a photographer at sponsored skateboarding events with Keendist and SS20, and have documented backstage, behind-the-scenes, and crowd moments for emerging artists. Alongside this, I’ve photographed within the Muay Thai world in Thailand, focusing on the reality of training, performance, and everyday life around the sport.
Documenting real moments to tell stories from within the communities I photograph.
