Kiera Walker

I’m a photographer using storytelling to explore the realities of mental health - the parts people don’t always see or talk about. My work is deeply personal. I’ve lived through over 15 years of challenges including depression, anxiety, bullying, addiction, and suicidal thoughts.

Today, I’m a mother of two, and my life looks very different. I went from a place of wanting to end my life to building a photography business that became multi award-winning within its first year.

I focus on capturing real stories - real pain, real resilience, and real progress. Projects like my “Mentality” exhibition combine images and testimonies to give a voice to those who feel unseen and spark honest conversations around mental health.

I’m passionate about speaking openly on recovery, creativity, and using storytelling and photography to connect people, inspire change, and show that progress, however small, is still progress.
