Ciel Hernandez states that in general women earn less than men, and they do not get the same opportunities that men do. She goes on to say that there have been female photographers that were famous, but this could be down to luck, opportunity and life. There are many unheard of photographers, who are good at what they do. Some brands like Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, and Sony have found to be forcing a gender balance, but it still isn’t balanced. For the majority who are successful, it appears to be backed by gender. Eliza Hatch talks about her experiences as a female street photographer, and the unwanted attention and harassment she received. The public space is a male playgound. Some female artists believe that their gender is an advantage. Meg Hewitt believes by showing vulnerability, it has the power of making someone else comfortable. Hernandez states that progress has been made in galleries and institutions, but many men are also fighting for the cause.
