Shingi Rice

Shingi Rice (b. 1993) is a London born, self-taught photographer of Spanish/British - Zimbabwean origin.

Her work is focused on the lack of real representation and cultural identification she has experienced in her surroundings growing up in Spain; she decided to focus on creating beautiful imagery, documenting her perception of radical beauty with people of colour - especially black women, LGBTQ+ community, plus-size models, individuals with disabilities, and mature models.

Upon undergoing open heart surgery in late 2013, she made the decision of moving back to the UK, to focus on her creative side to go on to study photography at UAL’s London College of Fashion.

From late 2014, she dedicated her time to connecting with individuals, crediting social media with helping her to create relationships with stylists and HMUA's, creative agencies and casting directors, enabling her to gradually build her reputation which lead to opportunities with Apple, Warby Parker, Adobe, Unsplash, Getty, The US Embassy in the UK, Puma, Dove, ASOS, inStyle, Facebook and more.
