About This Item
London: White Lion Publishing. Near Fine. 2023. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. London: Near Fine. 2023. First Edition; First Printing. Women Photograph; Clean and secure in original pictorial binding. Open your eyes to a new world view with 100 women photojournalists' stories from behind the lens. 85% of photojournalists are men. That means almost everything that is reported in the world is seen through men's eyes. Similarly, spaces and communities men don't have access to are left undocumented and forgotten. With the camera limited to the hands of one gender, photographic 'truth' is more subjective than it seems. To answer this serious ethical problem, Women Photograph flips that bias on its head to show what and how women and non-binary photojournalists see. From shooting major events such as 9/11 to capturing unseen and misrepresented communities, this book presents a revisionist contemporary history: pour through 30 years of women's dispatches in 100 photographs. Each shot is accompanied by 200 words from the photographer about the experience and the subject, offering fresh insights and a much-needed woman's perspective. Until we have balanced, representative reporting, the camera cannot offer a mirror to our global society. To get the full picture, we need diverse people behind the lens. This book offers a first step. . ; Photography, Womens Studies and Women Authors, Most Recent Listing .
