Berlin-based Sophia Emmerich is an award-winning photographer and filmmaker whose work amplifies queer voices and tells authentic stories about identity, diversity, and representation. Trained as a lawyer, Sophia is passionate about fighting for causes she believes in and has found a way to marry her legal training with her artistic endeavors. 

With her images and videos she brings awareness to the challenges that queer people face every day, but also celebrates the beauty and strength of the community.  

In 2021, she produced the first documentary of its kind that gave voice to the discriminatory legal process of official name change experienced by transgender people in Germany.
