OLIVIA LEHMANN

Besides taking pictures, my biggest passion is getting to know people and hearing their stories.
For my Bachelor Project I combined these two elements and created a book full of stories about people who get discriminated because of their diverse looks. It is about Racism, Homophobia and the feeling of being different, when they have more in common than in difference to everyone else. I interviewed people who work as Models or Influencers to find out, how they feel about the fact that they‘re often booked to give an advertisement more diversity. I then took quotes from the interviews and photographed them with the same people. My work is for everyone who wants to be seen, and everyone who wants to listen and understand.

It‘s for everyone who feels a little different and for everyone who cares.
