Abstract
The chapter discusses how the power to create photographic images of crises and conflicts has long been concentrated amongst a few media organisations and predominantly male photographers from the Global North. However, these established hierarchies are now being challenged as digital technology creates opportunities for a more diverse group of image producers to tell visual stories. There is also a growing recognition that the global community of visual storytellers needs to be more inclusive of professional photographers from traditionally marginalised communities, and that promoting gender equity and “the female gaze” in this context is imperative. The chapter presents the first focused academic study of perceptions and practices of female photographers from the Global South. The findings show the inequities 22 female photographers, predominantly from the Global South, see as inherent in photographic representations and practices in relation to marginalised communities as well as how they respond to them.
