Biography

Claudette May Holmes (born 1962) is a British photographer. Her work, which uses elements of montage and hand-colouring, has challenged stereotypical representations of Black British people.

Life

Claudette Holmes was born in 1962 in Birmingham, England. In the early 1980s she worked in community arts in Birmingham. In 1982, she exhibited in Closing the Gap at the University of Aston and Herbert Art Gallery, Coventry.

In 1990, Holmes was among several female black and Asian photographers featured in the documentary Sistren in Photography. The 1993 exhibition From Negative Stereotype to Positive Image included her work alongside that of three other Birmingham photographers: Sir Benjamin Stone (1838–1914), Ernest Dyche (1887–1973) and Vanley Burke (born 1951). In 1996, she won the Chrissie Bailey Photography and Education Award.
