The Royal Photographic Society's (RPS) Women in Photography Group are calling for submissions from female and female-identifying photographers for a unique and inspirational online exhibition we are hosting, titled SELFIES: WOMEN IN PHOTOGRAPHY.

About the exhibition

Self-portraiture has been used as an artistic expression by artists since the first painters, long before social media. SELFIE, defined by Oxford Dictionaries as “a photograph that one has taken of oneself….”, is the latest, and more accessible, iteration of that art form. Both allow the photographer to share with us how they perceive themselves, and how they wish for us to see them.

With this exhibition, we are asking female and female-identifying photographers to step out from behind the lens in celebration and recognition of the talented women in our profession. You do not need to be a member of the RPS to participate.

The SELFIES: Women in Photography exhibition will run from 15 June to 31 July, 2022 from a virtual gallery, allowing an opportunity for a global audience to view.

All images from this show will be stored on the RPS Women in Photography website at the end of the online exhibition.
