Emery’s first book Rie was selected as one of the most engaging & exciting projects of 2016 by the British Journal of Photography and featured on their noteworthy photographers issue cover.
‘When I first picked up Rie, I immediately knew this wasn’t an ordinary book of nudes. This openess creates pictures much like a breath of fresh air. Emery is certainly a portraitist and bookmaker whose work I will continue to keep an eye on.’ – Todd Hido, Photographer
