The Photography Show & The Video Show has just revealed details of this year’s Women Who Photo & Film (WWP&F) campaign.

Now in its second year, the campaign will shine a light on female photographers and filmmakers and the challenges they have faced when starting out their careers in a male-dominated industry.

Ahead of The Photography Show & The Video Show’s Virtual Festival in September, 21 female ambassadors – each specializing in different areas of photography and filmmaking including weddings, sport, fashion, wildlife, music and corporate – have come together to celebrate the work of other women as well as sharing insights, experience and advice.

Why the focus on women in photography?

If you’ve seen the 2018 TED Talk by celebrated photographer Jill Greenberg, you’ll know that she revealed staggering numbers indicating that between 2013 and 2017, 92% of adverts in the US were shot by men, as are 85% of magazine covers.
