Founded
in 1981, and reorganized in 2000 as an online resource center, Women
in Photography International serves the needs of photographers, photo
educators, photography students, gallery owners and photographic organizations
around the world.
In
keeping with our mission, we promote the visibility of women photographers
and their work through a variety of programs, exhibitions, juried
competitions and publications.
As
an educational nonprofit organization, Women in Photography International
perpetuates this tradition by providing member benefits that accommodate
changing interests and needs as we head into our third decade as a
resource for the international photographic community.
Our
newsmagazine f2 is an online e-Zine publication with member profiles and portfolios,
interviews, book reviews, product information and gallery listings.
This f2 publication,
in combination with the Women in Photography International Archives,
is a premiere resource and an unparalleled World Wide Web network
for the international community of women in photography.
