London based filmmaker exploring female-centric subcultures from sex work to beauty, music and body type
London based filmmaker exploring female-centric subcultures around sex work, beauty and body type. Based in London, Netti began taking photos as a way of documenting the world around her. Being self taught meant that the subjects she was drawn to, the projects she developed, the cameras she used and the photographers she loved, were pursued intuitively. This created a very honest filmmaking and photography approach that is strongly rooted in real life, real people and real stories. Netti’s projects are often female focused, challenging society's conventional attitudes towards sex, beauty and body type.
“Netti takes a surrealist approach to the realities around her and what stands out for me how she’ll use any camera, from a DSLR to her phone – whatever is needed or available to capture what she sees. Her take on gender always makes me think more deeply and her depictions of lower income communities and perspectives and brings out the beauty in those stories.”
