Saleem Sameja (b. 2004) is a fine art photographer and publication designer based in London. His practice centres on ideas of home, belonging and cultural memory, drawing from his Tanzanian-Asian heritage. Working primarily with photography and bookmaking, Sameja explores how identity is shaped across places and generations. His work reflects on the spaces between memory and lived experience, where familiarity and distance coexist.
He graduated from Manchester School Of Art in 2025 and is open to collaborations and publishing projects.
