About the photographer, Charlotte SCHMITZ
"Charlotte Schmitz’ approach to her photography is deliberately personal and often subverts the traditional documentary approach, which allows her to convey her messages about women and migration. She grew up in the danish minority in Germany and studied documentary photography in Hanover. Charlotte's work has been published in The Washington Post and der Spiegel, among other international media outlets. She is the first recipient of the FotoEvidence W Award with her work La Puente. She speaks six languages and is currently based in Berlin where she cofounded Friendzone.Studio to develop creative communication for projects that matter." (© Charlotte SCHMITZ)
