I was so humbled when I was asked by @getolympus to speak this week at @photoplusexpo, sharing the stories behind images I’ve taken with their gear and encouraging photographers to be more social with their work. It was a gift that was not lost on me as I walked through the event space and saw an industry that’s still dominated by men - at least at the expo. There are so many amazing female photographers in this world, taking such incredible photographs, promoting ideas that will lead to a better world. I hope to return one day and see a more inclusive, even representation of all creatives at Photo Plus. Until that time, I’m going to have a think on how I can help bring about that change for the better.
.
Let’s start by filling the comments with recommendations of female photographers we know and love. For example, I’m constantly blown away by the work of @annstreetstudio and I would have loved to see her on a stage at #photoplusexpo. I also love what @sarahsloboda has done for children’s portrait photography. And @bontraveler & @rhitaylor consistently make me want to visit every single place they visit with their singular take on travel photography.
.
If you don’t yet know their work, check them out! 🙏🏼😘
