WE ARE... Silver winners at the Px3 Awards! 🏆🎉
The RPS Women in Photography group is thrilled to announce that the April 2026 issue of WE ARE Magazine and its featured photographers have been awarded Silver in the Book—Other category (Professional) at the prestigious Prix de la Photographie Paris (Px3).
As the flagship biannual publication of the RPS Women in Photography group, WE ARE drives awareness of female and female-identifying photographers worldwide. This 248-page issue brings together a global community — from students to professionals — creating an enduring record of women’s vital contributions to the medium.
Highlights include the “40% Project” to document UK women MPs, alongside explorations of historic events, environmental jeopardy, and the weight of illness. You’ll also find celebrations of identity and the rediscovery of the self, alongside realities such as photographers’ financial precarity.
A massive congratulations to all our incredible contributors, and a special thank you to the dedicated volunteer editorial team who made this possible: Rachel Nixon, Liz Benjamin, Frankie MacEachen, Miranda Gavin, Victoria Medina, Isabelle Desgranges, Dr Jane Robb, and Victoria Robb.

It takes a lot to make a magazine like WE ARE come to life. It’s made possible by the dedication, vision, and sharp eyes of an all-volunteer team working over four months from beginning to end.
We’d like to highlight the people behind the pages and the vital work they do to bring these stories to life. Here are all the volunteers who worked on the awarded April 2026 issue:
Editor — Rachel Nixon @rachelnixon: Steers the overall editorial vision, selecting featured work from contributors and liaising with them every step of the way, and guiding each issue from start to finish.
Designer — Liz Benjamin @lizbenphoto: Transforms text and imagery into beautiful and impactful visual layouts, shaping the aesthetic and flow of the entire issue.
Contributing Editor — Frankie MacEachen @boldfrankphotography: Interviews our contributors for key profiles and refines our collaborative pieces.
Copy Editors — Miranda Gavin @miranda_gavin & Victoria Medina @vic.toria.me: Work one-on-one with our feature contributors to shape their stories, ensuring every piece speaks clearly to our readers and showcases their work in its best light. (They’re joined in the forthcoming issue by Sarah Chandy @sarah.chandy_photography)
Proofreaders — Isabelle Desgranges @backinafewblog, Dr Jane Robb, & Victoria Robb: Our final eyes on the magazine, scrutinising every detail, caption, and page for total precision before we press publish.
Thank you all for your talent and commitment.
