Ingrid Weyland was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Being part of a family of sculptors and architects,
she grew up among coloured pencils, art papers, blueprints, inks, and clay. Her passion for form, image, and composition arises from them, which led her to study Graphic Design at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) and set up her own practice. Later she decided to dedicate herself to learning photography, something she had always been passionate about, attending several workshops by Ana Sánchez Zinny, Angela Copello, Fabiana Barreda, Julieta Escardó, Juan Brath, Proyecto Imaginario, and Verónica Fieiras, amongst others.
Initially a portrait photographer, Ingrid now focuses on evocative landscapes expressing the fragility of the natural environment.
In 2020 she was one of the winners of Decade of Change by 1854 British Journal of Photography, the Exposure Photo Festival in Calgary, and won the Ashurst Emerging Artist Photography Prize 2021. This same year, she was also a finalist in the Discovery Awards - Encontros da Imagem in Braga, in Fresh Klompching Gallery Exhibition (NY), and won the Rhonda Wilson Award. Recently, she has been Shortlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize 2022.
Her work was exhibited in cultural institutions and galleries in Argentina, London, Canada, New York, and Hong Kong: Arte Espacio (2016), Buenos Aires Photo International Fair with ASZ Gallery (2019-2020), Photo London Digital with ASZ Gallery (2020-2021), Exposure Photo Festival (2021), 1854 BJP Decade of Change Exhibition at The Climate Museum (NY-2021), the Klompching Gallery Fresh 2021 Exhibition (NY), and the Ashurst Emerging Artist Photography Prize Solo Exhibition (London 2021).
