”Look at any advertisement for a new camera, you will usually see the kit held by a male hand, with the image of a young woman visible through the lens…as though the camera were always meant to be a male eye, gazing out onto a world of female subjects. It may sound primitive to talk of the female photographer in such a way, but as the photographers of 30 UNDER 30 will undoubtedly profess, resistance – or discrimination, even subtle – can be common even today. We will each have our own stories of how being a woman has hindered, or even unfairly aided, our pursuit of this profession.”
