This web article details women’s own experiences in photography. One being told they need to be as strong as a man to another thinking she was an assistant. 

The article talks about ‘Balance for Better’ which was created to highlight and collaborate art by women. There are 22 photographers which some raise the female gaze. Which is in contrast with the male gaze, to which Jill Greenberg states “nearly every image we are surrounded by has been filtered through a man’s eye” (Greenberg quoted in Sebag-Montefiore, 2019).  

Sebag-Montefiore also talks about female artists experience around the world, where some where groped and other felt unsafe.
