Redeat Wondemu, also known as Red, is an Eritrean-born Ethiopian American lens-based artist living in Washington, D.C.

Her photographs possess a remarkable ability to encapsulate the nuanced emotions of her subjects, which she attributes to studying, interviewing, researching, and getting to know them before she releases her shutter.

She approaches her practice through time and materials such as gelatin silver, platinum palladium, cyanotype, and as a form of storytelling, instead of a single photograph, turning it into a captivating way of telling stories visually. At the end, what you get is a meticulously hand-made print with a quality reminiscent of painting.
