Abigail Tulenko Hashmi is a photographer, director, and academic whose work explores the beauty and mystery of conscious experience. Drawing on philosophy, folklore, and the contradictions of contemporary femininity, she makes portraits as portals to inner worlds always slightly beyond reach.

Her practice spans fine art, fashion, and academia. In her commercial work, she specializes in executing full-scale production, photography, and videography services in destinations worldwide.

She is also a PhD candidate in Philosophy at Harvard, where her dissertation pursues a novel account of the structure of conscious experience.
