Casey Orr is an American photographer and artist.

She has lived in the UK for over 30 years working on a variety of commissions and personal projects. Her work has taken her across the North Atlantic Ocean by containership, throughout the USA, UK and Europe photographing anarchists, behind the walls of HMP Leeds Prison, and into the lives of the many people she collaborates with through portraiture. She has photographed extensively in the North of England (where she lives) collaborating with many different people and using photography as a way of exploring this shared life.

 

Her work has been shown in various galleries in the US (Jen Bekman Gallery, New York; ATA Gallery, San Francisco; University of the Arts, Philadelphia; San Antonio College Gallery; Texas), as well as in galleries, museums, publications and festivals in the UK including The Herbert Gallery & Museum, Coventry, Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool, The Palace of Westminster, Tate Exchange, Tate Liverpool, Look Liverpool International Photography Festival, Brighton Photo Biennale, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The Observer Magazine, The Royal Photographic Society Magazine, The National Portrait Gallery, London and (the first time the walls of a prison have been used as a space for art) at HM Prison, Leeds. Orrs’s work is supported by Arts Council England.
