Finn Hewes (b. 1998) is an award-winning contemporary artist based in New Orleans, la. Working with constructed sets, directed performances, and optical compositing techniques rooted in darkroom traditions, he creates photographic tableaux that occupy unstable territory between image and theater, documentation and fiction.

hewes brings a southern gothic sensibility to his constructed tableaux — work preoccupied with domestic space, masculinity, myth, and the uncanny.

His work has been exhibited at Hudson Valley Museum of Contemporary Art (peekskill, ny), Sasse Museum of Art (pomona,ca), frances M. maguire museum of art (philadelphia, pa), alexandria museum of art (alexandria, la), rhode island center for photographic arts (providence, ri) and Throughline (Houston, tx), among other venues.
