Imagine shooting photos out of a helicopter with no doors or being dropped in a Zimbabwean jungle to shoot a story about rhino horn poachers. It's all part of the job for the talented women who've paved the way for future generations of photographers.
Their work appears in glossy publications, on national news sites, and in your social media feed but, unless you slow down to read the photo credits, you'd never realize how few of the images you see every day were actually taken by women photographers.
Framing The Shot highlights the powerful work that women have been doing for decades as photographers and bring into focus their under-representation in the industry. In this book, you'll read about:
- What different organizations like Women Photograph are doing to change the industry
- The stories behind Ami Vitale's work at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Northern Kenya
- The tools that successful women photographers used to build their careers
If you're interested in hearing stories from war photographers, reading about the entrepreneurial drive of freelancers, or learning about how crucial ethical visual journalism is in today's world, this book is for you.
