Women Photojournalists working and living in the UK

[suzanne plunkett @suzanneplunkett]

The world is not lacking photographs of women. How difficult would it have been for @TheBPPA to showcase their female members' work on #IWD2021 ? Seeing all the male photographers posting about being "proud" and "humbled" to be part of this does not sit well (or make sense.)

@ photojournalism judging panels. You need to have a diverse range of voices in order to adequately judge a contest. It’s irresponsible/unacceptable to have an all white judging panel especially when @DiversifyPhoto @womenphotograph, & @theauthorityc exist. Do better please.

"The lack in the diversity behind the camera affects the story in front of it". Brilliant panel discussion tonight at @PhotoForumUK with @AnnaGordonPics @suzanneplunkett @chinw_e, masterly moderated by @FT Head of Pictures @hheals. #allchange #timetoact #photodiversity #London

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

People at the top have to lead a cultural change through practice and policies at the organisational level so freelance individual photographers don’t constantly take the blame #photodiversity @PhotoForumUK

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

Are women and #bame photographers stereotyped and typecast in photographing certain types of stories by photo editors because of their gender/ race? #photodiversity @PhotoForumUK

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

@AnnaGordonPics argues that the lack of diversity in photojournalism needs to be recognised as an issue at the very least before anything can change #photodiversity @PhotoForumUK

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

90% of entries to @NHM_WPY are from men in European or North American countries #photodiversity @PhotoForumUK

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

Marginalised and non binary photographers are forced to create their own spaces and find their own work because there is no available outlet for them in mainstream media #photodiversity @PhotoForumUK

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

Do women get pushed more into social photography of weddings and family photography by colleges? #photodiversity @PhotoForumUK

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

Great panel discussion from @hheals @suzanneplunkett @AnnaGordonPics @PhotoForumUK this evening on #photodiversity

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

Most media gatekeepers are white and male in the industry which contributes towards the white male editorial gaze says @chinw_e #photodiversity

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

There are so many black photographers in the industry who are underused by European and American media outlets because they don’t know them argues @chinw_e @PhotoForumUK #photodiversity

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

Photo editors have to think outside the box and not only use news agency photos in their coverage of events argues @hheals @PhotoForumUK #photodiversity

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

Female photographers do not want to be sidelined into only photographing the sensitive stories because of their gender in #photojournalism says @hheals

[Women Photographers UK @WomenPhotograp1]

Do photo editors have an unconscious bias in their commissioning of photographers to shoot particular events? @hheals questions why there are so few female war photographers #photodiversity @PhotoForumUK
