“…I want to provoke with my photography and have it presented in a natural way. Intimate. A little daring, provocative. Real. Human. Think French cinema where women have always been represented as equals. What I do is a form of expression. I am privileged to be able to tell stories through images. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
The Australian photographer Akila Berjaoui uses her camera to journal and document her life and using her work as reflection of how she is feeling – like a visual diary of her ups and downs. We talked to her some while ago and we are still so blown away by her amazing work. She definitely counts to one of the best contempary female photographers of the world. Human NYC x Billabong are proud to announce her first solo gallery exhibition “You better get out of the sun before you melt” who will showcase images of Akila in various locations including Australia, Italy, Norway, Dubrovnik and Morocco, both the photographs and zines are limited run and a compilation of Akila’s work over the past year.
