Melissa Schriek photographs women in everyday settings, mostly in the urban environment, and especially in Amsterdam. In the photography world, the female lens is far from dominating, even though women are often seen in photographs, often stereotyped, sensual or naked. Melissa's work is a dissenting voice that absolutely needs to be heard.
