Alice Louisa is a Southampton-based documentary photographer, artist, and community arts facilitator committed to amplifying underrepresented voices through lens-based storytelling. Her work is inspired by her upbringing, and explores themes of class, identity, and social issues. She uses portraiture, research, and creative direction to challenge societal narratives.
Alice is interested in the political potential of art and often uses humor and fantasy to explore this. She aims to work collaboratively with individuals and communities that have been under- and/or misrepresented in the media, facilitating co-creation workshops with youth groups, community organisations, charities, schools, and environmental and women’s groups.
Her photography spans documentary, portraiture, and fashion, with recent exhibitions including International Women’s Day: Community Projects, Perspectives from a Safe Space’, a collaborative art project with Hope Street, dedicated to empowering and amplifying the voices of women affected by the justice system. Alice’s work has been published in HUCK and Polyester Magazine, and she continues to develop long-form projects that highlight overlooked stories.
She’s a member of Southampton-based arts collective ZEST Collective and Working Class Creatives Database, and her work is supported by ‘a space’ arts.
