Vicky Hodgson is a British photographer and researcher recognised for her autobiographical and feminist work that critically examines societal norms shaped by patriarchy, sexism, and ageism. Her artistic practice centres on self-portraits that challenge traditional notions of femininity and confront the consumerist promotion of youth and anti-ageing in the beauty industry. She completed her practice-based PhD supervised by Anna Fox in 2025.
