MMIWP Awareness with Nicole Merton

Nicole Merton is an indigenous photographer, based out of Anaheim, CA. She focuses her photographic work on the MMIWP Movement (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & People). Her work consists of cultural photography and recordings of untold stories, told both visually and vocally.

"Each portrait I capture I want to encapsulate the emotion they are feeling in that moment because this is a time of reflecting, healing and sometimes a moment for mourning."
