Vanessa Endeley
Women Photograph
Abuja, Nigeria
Vanessa Endeley is a self-taught visual artist and documentary photographer born and raised in the city of Lagos. Photography is the medium through which she expresses herself. She is focused on addressing the social injustices faced by Nigerian women, education, health and insecurity in the north eastern region of Nigeria. Her on-going project, Working Women, aims to document sex workers and the trials they go through as a result of their profession, humanising these women and portraying them as being just as valid a human being as the next person, which in turn should result in the Nigerian government taking up the issue of the Nigerian Police sexually assaulting these women seriously and making positive moves to eradicate it.
