Tess Roby

Tess Roby is a photographer and musician based in Montreal, Canada. Her shots of rare delicacy manage to abstract small moments of everyday life, making them sublime. A car, the shape of the clouds, the eyes of a cat become, for her and for the viewer, corners of a world we are used to but whose beauty seems to reveal itself with sudden amazement. Roby graduated from the Concordia University Photography program in 2016, and has since completed two solo exhibitions, In View (2017), at Battat Contemporary in Montreal, and Like Water, A Window (2018), at Harbourfront Centre in Toronto as part of Contact Photography Festival. Her work has been published in VICE and several international publications.
