Are you ready to be part of something incredible? There are now 264 women MPs, representing 40% of the total seats in Parliament. RPS Women in Photography is thrilled to launch the 40% Project, an initiative to celebrate the remarkable rise in female MPs.

The Women in Photography group is pleased to offer a series of member and professional-led events featuring women photographers who inspire and educate.  

We’d love to see more RPS Women in Photography members getting involved—why not give a talk, organise a local meet-up, or plan a group visit to an exhibition? It’s a great way to connect, inspire, and celebrate the incredible creativity within our supportive and growing community. Got an idea? Let’s make it happen—get in touch and get something going!

Celebrating the work of women photographers, these are our stories...

The RPS Women in Photography Magazine

Featuring stories of serendipity, the regenerative power of nature, the intricacies of family dynamics, alternative processes and more, the issue encompasses a wide range of work and insights in its 200+ pages. 

We’ve been shining a light on female and female-identifying photographers since 2021. In this 10th issue, we’re showcasing stories originating from Slovakia, India, the US, Romania, France and Switzerland, as well as many from the UK. 

The RPS Women in Photography Group aims to facilitate the celebration, education and collaboration of female and female-identifying photographers. 

We are not a genre. 

We are the discussion that drives a greater awareness of the importance of women photographers past, present and future.
