Finn Hewes (b. 1998) is a large-format photographer 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.

Raised in Mississippi and based in new orleans, hewes brings a southern gothic sensibility to his constructed tableaux — work preoccupied with domestic space, masculinity, myth, and the uncanny weight of the familiar.

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 photography (providence, ri) and Throughline (Houston, tx), among other venues.
