about

Isabella Palmina is a Scottish-Italian photographer and visual artist, born in Edinburgh, Scotland and currently based in Milan, Italy. With a richly layered background in both fine art and fashion, Isabella’s work moves fluidly between the realms of personal exploration and editorial storytelling and portraiture. 

After obtaining a Master’s degree from Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, she deepened her artistic practice, developing a distinctive voice that merges conceptual visual art with a strong narrative sensibility. She also holds a BA (Hons) in Fashion Communication, a discipline that continues to inform the composition, tone, and emotional depth of her imagery. Her experience within fashion is not just a foundation, but a vital thread that ties her commercial and personal work together.

Isabella’s photographic language is deeply introspective, often using the body as a vessel to explore themes of identity, belonging, and the fragile interplay between human emotion and natural landscapes. Her lens becomes a bridge between the internal and external, where the relationship between the body and the land is a recurring motif. She often stages her subjects, within raw, expansive environments that evoke a dreamlike sense of isolation and transformation. 

As a young artist and photographer, she continues to infuse her signature blend of sensitivity, storytelling, and visual escapism.
