Jadwiga Brontē is a Polish-born, London-based, award-winning social documentary photographer whose work explores the intersection of human identity, power, and politics through visual storytelling.

Her work has been widely published internationally, including features in BBC News, Vogue, Elle, The Guardian, PBS, The Independent, VICE, and Marie Claire.

She is the founder of Let’s Talk About Rape®, a global photography-led movement challenging the silence and stigma surrounding sexual violence. Through a survivor-centred approach, she uses photography as both a therapeutic tool and a form of activism—confronting social stigma, reshaping public narratives, and transforming trauma into resilience.

She holds an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography from London College of Communication (University of the Arts London), a PGCert in Creative Education from University for the Creative Arts, and a BA in Photography from Kingston University London.
