mildly curious what the fraction of photographers are men also seems likely that photos are a case where gender isn't salient to the viewer? if im looking at photos, its unlikely I will look at the photographer's name, no offense to the artists but your output is what compelshttps://twitter.com/womenphotograph/status/1036682733899186176 …

I know a girl who’s a fashion photographer in a developing country. She gets a lot of attention for being one of the few women. I thought it was a joke when I first heard that. In fashion?

that actually doesn't surprise me! i hung out with the local hobby photography (fashion photography?) set for a while a few years ago and it occurs to me it was overwhelmingly men shooting and women modeling (gratis on both counts)

It wasn’t even presented to me as a glass ceiling problem - the editors and producers at the fashion magazines I know there are women and are always looking for female photogs. Basically, I didn’t realize photography was so geeky.

hmm fashion photography might suck for het women, think of the effect of the intrasexual competition on your self-image imagine being surrounded all day by high-status attractive sexy dudes (assuming you're straight, plausibly this doesn't hold if not)

Oh, it definitely is. Another female friend said, acidly, that “this girl clearly would prefer to be in front of the camera than behind it.”

Yeah, guys have to swing from the edge of a crane with one hand 80 stories in the air to match the likes of a girl eating a poke bowl in Canggu.

Weirdly, it’s as much because of women. They love to torture themselves with pictures of their more attractive counterparts.
