WOMEN IN FOCUS
As the well-known adage goes, “necessity is the mother of invention” and necessity is exactly what spurred photographers Steph Vella and Sarina Jackson to team up and co-found In Focus Women, a new online community for female landscape photographers.
Vella and Jackson met during a photography workshop, and their short discussion about the lack of female representation in the landscape photography space went on to spark a bigger conversation about what they could do to help connect and encourage other women. Before they knew it, they had come up with the idea of In Focus Women, a community with intentions of celebrating, supporting, inspiring and encouraging women in landscape photography. With their first photo posted to Instagram handle @in.focus.women in November 2019, they now have more than 10,000 photos tagged and have garnered in excess of 2,800 members.
