“Female in Focus is a testament to the creativity, talent, and innovation that women bring to the world of photography” – he incredible work of female photographers. The organizers reveal that globally 70-80% of photography students are women, yet, women account for only 13-15% of professional photographers. The Female in Focus award was launched in 2019 in response to this staggering gender imbalance in photography.

“When women’s stories aren’t recognized, we don’t see the whole picture” – Awareness around gender inequality in the industry may be growing, but the numbers aren’t changing fast enough. The award is an excellent initiative that champions the work of world-class women photographers across the world.

Visitors of The Bridge and Tunnel Gallery are invited to appreciate and honor the achievements of these incredible photographers and network with photographers and artists alike.

The Female in Focus Award recognizes the work of woman-identifying photographers, and past years have included leading women from The New Yorker, Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA) and international galleries and publications. The winners have been featured in Vogue Italia, The Guardian, The Times and more, further contributing to the promotion of their work.

Thinkers, makers, and artisans from historically underrepresented communities use the shared space to create and offer their work. Through their meticulous curation and production, The Bridge and Tunnel Gallery have become a playground for the senses—a place where creators, vendors, and patrons can gather and connect.
