The Photography Show: Females in focus
The Photography Show has always looked to champion women in photography and this year is no different. Photography has notoriously been male-dominated - data collected by Women Photograph – an initiative to promote and support female photographers – shows that between April and June 2019, eight of the world’s leading newspapers printed far fewer lead photographs by women than by men. Figures ranged from just 4.2% (three out of 72 photos published) in Le Monde to 47% (44/92) in the San Francisco Chronicle.
“Women Who Photo & Film” is a campaign that was launched by The Photography Show & The Video Show in 2018, to shine a light on some amazing female photographers and filmmakers in a male-dominated industry. The aim of the campaign continues to simply be to encourage women in this field to shout about their work and their passion, whilst inspiring other women to get creating with these art mediums.
This year’s event showcases a group of 22 fantastic women, all of whom come from different backgrounds. At photoGuard, we’ve highlighted some of our top picks to take a look at during the event.
