BELL COLLECTIVE STARTED OUT AS AN INTERNATIONAL FEMALE CREATORS COLLECTIVE. IT UNITES WOMEN WHOSE COMMON GOAL IS TO USE VISUAL STORYTELLING TO BREAK THE STEREOTYPES ABOUT FEMALE TRAVEL AND CREATIVE CHOICES.
AFTER A FEW YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL COLLABORATIONS WITH VARIOUS BRANDS, OUR CREATIVE PRODUCTION STUDIO WAS BORN IN BERLIN.
BY WORKING PRIMARILY WITH FEMALE CREATORS, WE HOPE TO CLOSE THE GAP THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS IN THE CREATIVE SERVICES BUSINESS AND PROVIDE UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES FOR PROGRESSIVE VISUAL CAMPAIGNS.
By embracing the power of visual storytelling and the strength of female voices, we forge a path towards a more equal and inclusive world.
OUR CREATIVE STUDIO IS AN ALL-FEMALE TEAM, WORKING WITH A PRIVATE DATABASE OF FREELANCE CREATORS IN THE DACH REGION.
WE OFFER PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEOGRAPHY AND FULL VISUAL CAMPAIGN CREATION SERVICES TO CLIENTS IN CATEGORIES SUCH AS LIFESTYLE, TECH, SUSTAINABILITY AND AUTOMOTIVE.
AS WELL AS THE PRODUCTION STUDIO, THE MISSION OF OUR GROWING COMMUNITY IS TO SHIFT THE FABRIC OF THE CREATIVE PRODUCTION SCENE; PROVIDING DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND EQUITY IN OPPORTUNITIES BY EMPLOYING FEMALE AND NON-BINARY CREATIVES.
AT BELL COLLECTIVE, WE ARE DEDICATED TO TELLING INSPIRING STORIES VIA PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEOGRAPHY, AND HOSTING FEMALE-LED, FOCUSED CREATIVE WORKSHOPS AND NETWORKING EVENTS.
IN A PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT DOMINATED BY MALE DIRECTORS, PHOTOGRAPHERS AND VIDEOGRAPHERS, OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE OUR CLIENTS WITH THE BEST QUALITY CREATIVE SERVICES, WHILE EMPLOYING A PREDOMINANTLY FEMALE AND NON-BINARY PHOTO AND VIDEO PRODUCTION CREW.
AS FEMALE CREATORS OURSELVES, WE MADE IT OUR GOAL TO HELP CLOSE THE GENDER GAP THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS IN THE CREATIVE SERVICES BUSINESS BY PROVIDING MORE PAID WORK OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE HIGHLY TALENTED AND PROFESSIONAL BUT COMMERCIALLY UNDERREPRESENTED — NON-MALE CREATIVES.
COMMUNITY THAT amplifies THE FEMALE VOICES IN THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY
BELL COLLECTIVE STARTED AS AN INSTAGRAM COMMUNITY IN OCTOBER 2017, WHEN PHOTOGRAPHER ALINA RUDYA ORGANIZED A TRIP TO ICELAND WITH A FEW OTHER ADVENTUROUS FEMALE PHOTOGRAPHERS.
THE NAME BELL COLLECTIVE WAS INSPIRED BY GERTRUDE BELL, THE PIONEERING FEMALE TRAVELER, WRITER AND ARCHEOLOGIST OF THE LATE 19TH-EARLY 20TH CENTURY (1868 –1926).
WE WERE ALL FRUSTRATED BY THE LACK OF REPRESENTATION FOR PROFESSIONAL FEMALE PHOTOGRAPHERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND BY THE GENDER STEREOTYPES REGARDING FEMALE TRAVEL AND CREATIVE CHOICES THAT DOMINATED THE PLATFORM.
