Jordan Morise
Jordan Morise (b. Sudan, 2003) is a transmasculine nonbinary photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Specialising in portraiture, Morise’s works are rooted in nostalgia, identity, queerness, and culture while remaining fresh and contemporary. Born in Khartoum, Sudan, he is inspired by masculinity, femininity, heritage and soulfulness. The artworks they create deal with questions of originality, selfhood, mental health, and emotions through a colourful, queer and complicated lens, blending both documentary and fine art approaches. Through his use of photography, they turn captured moments into lifetime memories by drawing attention to the philosophical aspects of the medium.
