Hundred + Heroines is a British charity focused on raising awareness of women photographers. Earlier this week, the organization added another 50 inspirational photographers to its list. Take a look at the work of nine of them.
Buzzfeed added a reference to the Guardian Article as part of their Photo Stories on December 19th
In un mondo che sembra avere un gran bisogno di eroi (ed è profondamente dominato dagli uomini), chi è la tua eroina? La donna che più ti ha ispirato, stimolato, incoraggiato, difeso, sfidato? In questo nessuna spodesterà mai mia nonna. Ammetto però che il 2018, celebrato come l’anno delle donne, ha arricchito la mia personale classifica di signore emancipate che mandano in frantumi il cliché del sesso debole.
To mark the new Hundred Heroines campaign launched by the Royal Photographic Society we’ve met with Rut Blees Luxemburg and Del Barrett to discuss matters of women’s representation in photography. Thank you so much for joining us!
Photography has often been a male-dominated profession, with many female photographers not given due credit for their work. However, there are a number of female digital photographers whose work range from photojournalism to personal portraits and points in between who continually do amazing work, shining a light on their culture as they see it.
Photography is still male dominated – but, 100 years after British women first voted in a general election, the UK’s Royal Photographic Society has compiled a list of 100 inspirational female image-makers
Pictures of smuggled elephants’ feet and a gay “cure” clinic are among the works by photographers on the Royal Photographic Society’s A Hundred Heroines list. The RPS today announced the 100 women chosen in a campaign honouring contemporary female photographers around the world.
Following a campaign by the Royal Photographic Society to highlight modern female photographers in a male-dominated profession, a list of a Hundred Heroines was announced on 14 December, 100 years since British women first voted in a general election.
The Royal Photographic Society has just announced their list of Hundred Heroines, women from across the world whose work is transforming photography today. These female photographers, who were nominated online (anyone was allowed to make a nomination), have inspired and challenged others, highlighted particular issues or shown bravery or courage through their image-making. The final list has been whittled down from some 1,300 nominations from members of the public.
