Sophie Wedgwood is a photographer from Camberwell, London, working across portraiture and long-form documentary. She is the recipient of the Magnum Photography Award for Emerging Photographer, selected by Lua Ribeira.

​

She began her career as a reportage photographer with BBC News, commissioned by Phil Coomes to travel across the UK documenting and writing about her experiences. Her early work — most notably the series Growing Up Young, an intimate study of young women navigating contemporary Britain — received critical acclaim and established her as a distinctive voice in contemporary photography.
