Anaïs Gallagher Reframes 'Nepo Baby' Label, Credits Noel Gallagher's Support

In new interviews, the photographer describes a move from early CBBC scrutiny to open acknowledgment of parental help.

Overview

  • Gallagher says she was "massively in denial" as a teenager about how her father's fame shaped perceptions of her work.
  • She recalls a CBBC producer warning her at age 12 or 13 that any mistake would be seen as proof she was hired because of Noel Gallagher.
  • While studying fine art photography at Camberwell, she felt embarrassed by her privilege and avoided discussing her family.
  • She now says Noel Gallagher helped her "immensely," noting she never needed a part-time job and that he bought her cameras when needed.
  • She continues modeling and photography work, including documenting her father's High Flying Birds tour, and jokes she is a "nepo girlfriend" after partner Callum Scott Howells helped her land set photography jobs.
