Why we do what we do

Foto Femme United is an international women’s photography collective and community established and based in Paris, France. Our mission is multi-layered. To start, we believe that empowering women in photography around the world is vital. The ratio of successful male photographers to female photographers is 3:1. We challenge the white male gaze that exists in our industry because we believe the world deserves more sides to a story.

Secondly, our objective is to advocate creativity and to strengthen ourselves as photographers. We feature and exhibit the work of female identifying photographers internationally.

Lastly, Foto Femme United is all about promoting and educating the world on what intersectional feminism in photography means. We believe it is so important to break the stigma and that the world understand the true meaning of feminism, which is all women having equal rights. We demonstrate that we as women are stronger together and that empowered women empower women.
