Raphaela Rosella

Raphaela Rosella is an Australian documentary visual-storyteller. Currently based in Brisbane, she is co-editor of The Australian PhotoJournalist, a non-profit publication dedicated to celebrating the human condition and casting a critical eye on journalism and mass media practices.

Working closely across communities facing recurring hardship, Raphaela uses visual storytelling to question our readiness to stigmatize and to stereotype.
