NGO in India, Rajasthan for women empowerment

Born in Londons' East End, Portland based photographer Lola Wallace has travelled the globe producing carefully studied photographic essays, ranging from Portland’s legendary glamorous drag queen, Darcelle, to working with international NGOs to raise awareness and funds to uplift and empower women and girls in India.

Since coming back to Portland,  Lola has focused on portrait photography, trying to break the mold of formal studio sessions contrasting classical fine art lighting with fun and irreverent mood, including a commission from Nike to photograph the Advanced innovation Team.
