    Women using Large Format

    in Large Format

    Posted

    Hi All,

    Im a female too, but I only make use of my gender, if I take portraits

    of male politicians or other prominent males in my press photography.

    I like to see my self as one of the lucky last few women in a male

    dominated occupation. Soon, the world of professional photographers

    will be half/half, and I will no longer 'stand out in the crowd'.

    I hire LF and always have an assistant or a friend to stand behind me

    on location.

    I believe in not 'seeing' the difference between our genders. I think

    it stops a lot of young women, if they focus on the majority of men in

    a group/forum/gathering etc.

    Just press on and do your thing, whoever you are, whereever you are.

    Life is too short to be swamped in 'disadvantages' and 'unfairness'

    and 'unequality'.

    And by pressing on, one may just make a frontfigure for other women to

    follow. (Gosh, Ill stop here before my head explodes).

    Thanks to all on this list for the great contributions. I thoroughly

    enjoy this list !! -and please excuse my poor english.

    Hi fellow professionel photographers,

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this line and although being only 39 yrs

    old, I am wondering what my future will bring in relation to all

    this, as I print my platinum prints myself 'from scratch' and although

    I have ventilation, and a fuming cupboard, sometimes the fumes seems

    pretty serious, and Im not sure if my slight dizzyness after a long

    day and nights work, may be from bodily exhaustion or fume

    exhaustion...

    And regarding the 'male sperm', as a woman, I am sure hazardous

    chemicals has effects on the reproductive system too. Some of my

    fellow women professional photographers put their childlessness down

    to prolonged exposure to darkroom chemicals.

    Still we all have to die of something, and I think its important to

    highlight, that we are some of the lucky people in the world, who have

    found our 'metier' or 'vocation', which we live 100 % for, and surely

    this positivity will help prolong our lives !

     

    <p>

     

    May you all live long and prosper !!!

    Yours

    Ms. S
