The SheClicks photography community has just launched a Women in Photography podcast. The all-female group aims to raise the profile of female photography by sharing the work and experiences of women in the industry.
The first episode is released and features an interesting interview with photographer and filmmaker Cristina Mittermeier. Within the first few days of being released, the podcast has risen to the top of the Apple Podcasts UK Visual Arts chart.
The podcast will follow an interview and discussion-type format, with SheClicks founder Angela Nicholson taking the helm. Nicholson will be speaking with well-known and influential photographers about their experiences, what drives them and how they got to where they are now.
The first episode features Mittermeier, who is also a marine biologist and conservationist. Her work is dedicated to protecting the oceans, and she aims to inspire others to do the same through her photography. Cristina is also a Sony imaging ambassador and was the first woman photographer to get more than 1 million Instagram followers.
Future guests will include fashion and beauty photographer Lindsay Adler, among others. “I began to think about the next steps and how we could continue to raise the profile of female photographers,” says Nicholson about what inspired her to begin the podcast. “As Cristina won the first SheClicks Lifetime Achievement Award, I reached out to her to see if she would be willing to be a guest on our first podcast. I was absolutely delighted that she agreed!” she adds.
Now, before I start hearing the phrase, “but what about men?” be assured that this podcast is open and available to absolutely everyone. It may focus on featuring women photographers, however, the subject matter is interesting and relevant for everyone. These are photographers of the highest calibre, who also just happen to be female. In fact, their gender may just be the least interesting thing about them!
