Louise Amelie is a Berlin-based director and photographer whose artistic focus is on documentary and street photography. Her main focus is to portray the personalities she works with, in an authentic and sublime way.
During her stay in the United States, 2016 – 2017, she created the comprehensive photo series SOLE HARLEM. The young photographer took an in-depth look at the residents of New York’s Harlem district and documented their urban habitat and the diversity of the district, pointing out the uniqueness of Harlem and its residents. The work, which was also published as a book, was awarded with the German Photo Book Prize 18/19. The photograph “Woman In Blue” from this series was included in the collection “Portrait Of Humanity” jointly published by Magnum Photos and the British Journal Of Photography in 2019. In addition, SOLE HARLEM has been exhibited and presented internationally.
