Alongside André Kertész and Man Ray, Germaine Krull helped forge the “New Photographic Vision,” a groundbreaking way of seeing and revealing the modern world. Through high- and low-angle shots, unconventional framing, and bold close-ups, she developed a visual language that transformed photography. Celebrated as one of the great photographers of the 20th century and a pioneer of photojournalism, she remains surprisingly little known to the wider public.

From fashion and advertising to the streets of Paris and the front lines of war, Krull captured modern life in all its forms, merging high art and popular imagery with remarkable freedom.

Blending documentary and crafted recreations, the film unfolds like a photographic novel—tracing the journey of an adventurer, an artist, and a fiercely independent woman.
