Reclaim the Streets

Reclaim the Streets

In this short film, Lucy Hamidzadeh, London-based photographer and Nikon Creator journeys to Paris to meet Ella Kowalska, founder of women’s street photography collective ‘Street is a Woman’. Founded as a counter-movement to the male-dominated and patriarchal creative institution, 'Street is a Woman' is a safe haven for women to exchange their views on the genre of street photography and break barriers and narratives about the role women play in this public space.

Watch as Lucy and Ella connect over shared passions for street photography and follow as the collective meets to continue challenging traditional norms by embracing diverse aesthetic approaches and showcasing a wide range of emotions and styles through their work, as they look to Reclaim the Streets.

Directed by Eleanor Church
