Francesca Phillips is a British photographer and documentary filmmaker whose work draws on anthropological practices. Covering a wide spectrum of subjects, she has won awards for her work in both areas, and recently completed a three year long, in-depth portrait of life inside the strict and enclosed monastic order of the Trappists. Selected prints from the book White Monks: A Life in Shadows were exhibited in Spain earlier in 2012 and two more shows are scheduled to take place in the UK in 2013.
