Sisters of the Road is a portrait series of American trucker women. Inspired by her childhood memories, Michel travelled ten thousand miles across the United States to seek out, speak with, and photograph her subjects.

The resulting images and interviews give voice to the unique experiences of the female truckers who persevere in this physically demanding, male-dominated industry.

Anne-Marie Michel

Anne-Marie Michel, a London-based photographer, began her career taking photos of rising stars in her sister’s Los Angeles garage, going on to shoot the world’s red carpets, film festivals and fashion weeks.

Michel takes aesthetic inspiration from the fashion and celebrity world, creating arresting imagery that elevates the stories of seemingly everyday individuals and locations. Sharing the platform with her subjects through a combination of portraiture and documentary, her practice of collaborative storytelling allows their voices, life histories and advocacies to be heard.
