Louisa Marie Summer

About Louisa Marie Summer: Louisa Marie Summer, born 1983 in Munich, is a portrait and documentary photographer. She holds a University Diploma in Photo Design from the University of Applied Sciences Munich and a Master of Fine Arts in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI.

Summer is an artist concerned with inequality between social classes. Through subtle and intimate images she examines issues of social structure, inequity, identity, and survival.

Eager to address human needs and to give voice to those living on the margins of society and those not heard in their communities, her work is comprehensive yet conscientious.

Summer’s work has been nationally and internationally published and recognized. In 2012 Schilt Publishing published her book Jennifer’s Family. Her images have been exhibited internationally and are collected by museums and art dealers such as Melva Bucksbaum and Raymond Learsy.
