Female in Focus is a photography award from 1854 Media & the British Journal of Photography which aims to highlight and give a platform to the exceptional work of women photographers around the world.
From a pool of thousands of entries, the international judging panel selected two series and 20 single images to be exhibited at El Barrio’s Artspace, New York. LIP member Camilla Broadbent’s Modern Madonna photograph above is a winning image, and the whole exhibition features in online links in The Guardian, the BJP, The Times, and Italian Vogue.
Collectively, the curation examines gender, race, sexuality and beyond, weaving delicate stories of beauty and pain; joy and injustice; resilience and reflection.
There is a free online 1854 Media Female in Focus e-guide that includes a wealth of insights and advice from leading contemporary women photographers.
