who is she?

Jordan Morise (b. Sudan, 2003) is a photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Specialising in portraiture, Morise’s works are rooted in nostalgia, identity, queerness, and culture while remaining fresh and contemporary.

Morise has exhibited at the RAW: Natural Born Artists, ‘IGNITE’, Showcase (Australia, 2019), and both The Museum of Australian Photography’s TOPshots (Australia, 2021), Being a Voice (Australia, 2022) exhibitions, amongst others. Born in Khartoum, Sudan, she is inspired by androgyny, heritage, and soulfulness. The works she creates explore questions of originality, selfhood, mental health, and emotions through a colourful, queer, and complicated lens, blending both documentary and fine art approaches.

Through her photography and choreographic relations of people to things, time, light, and spaces, she’s “turning captured moments into lifetime memories.”
