Charlotte Abramow (born 30 September 1993 in Brussels) is a Belgian photographer and filmmaker.^[1]

Biography

Charlotte Abramow was born in Brussels and made her first pictures around the age of 7.^[2] At the age of 16, she was spotted by photographer Paolo Roversi, during an internship at the 2010 Rencontres d'Arles. In 2011, Roversi wrote an article about her photos, "The fragility and soul of a warrior", published in Polka Magazine. In 2013, she joined the Gobelins School in Paris,^[3] and graduated in 2015. Her photographic work combines seriousness and absurdity.

In 2017 she started making the video for the song La Loi de Murphy and Je veux tes yeux by Angèle.^[4] In 2018, she created a video clip for International Women's Day, using the song Les Passantes by Georges Brassens, based on an idea by Christophe Coffre, president of Havas. The metaphorical depiction of vulvae and menstruation in this clip leads a YouTube ban, for under-18.^[5] This classification was later removed after protests from users.

She is working on a photographic project around her father, Maurice, who survived cancer.
