From this week, we’re going to start featuring nominations from our #HundredHeroines ambassadors.

Cheer Up Luv is a photojournalism series, created by Eliza Hatch, dedicated to combating the normalisation of sexual harassment. Photographs are taken on location where the harassment took place, which gives women the ability to reclaim those spaces.

Lisa Katsiaris’s images are characterised by their serene, contemplative mood, but their origin is anything but calm. She explains how photography helped her through personal tragedy and to redefine her life.
