Odette Howell (b. 1977, Cape Town, South Africa) is a photographer whose work explores the emotional and historical resonance of landscape. Her practice is deeply intuitive, rooted in a lifelong connection to nature and shaped by a sensitivity to memory, silence, and belonging.
Working primarily in South Africa and Europe, Howell’s images blend documentary observation with poetic introspection. Her landscapes often serve as metaphors for the inner world — quiet reflections on the interplay between presence, loss, and the natural cycles of renewal.
She lives on the Cape Peninsula, where the proximity to the ocean and mountain informs her visual and emotional sensibility.
