SHE SHOOTS FIRST

“Every shot is a love letter and a warning”

She Shoots First is a visual sisterhood — a space for portraits of female subjects who inspire, challenge, and shake things up. It’s also where I collaborate with other women behind the camera — a network of grit & gloss guerillas who shoot with intent and softness as strategy.

Beauty, rage, intimacy, rebellion — sometimes in the same frame.

Sections

The Subject Strikes Back

Portraits of women who challenge, captivate, and resist — framed not as muses, but as forces.

Trigger Warnings

Work that dives into vulnerability, rawness, and emotional confrontation. Brave shots with honest stakes.

Lens Sisters

Collaborations with other female and non-binary/female identifying photographers — shared shoots, shared gaze, shared fire.

Behind the Shot

Shoot notes, process snapshots, and post-shoot reflections. What the image doesn’t show — but shaped it.

Power, Softly

Images that explore femininity as strength — not in spite of softness, but through it.

Gloss & Grit

Styled shoots with bite — where lipstick meets lighting meets layered meaning.

“If the shot needs permission, it’s already missed.
