Winners Announcement

We are thrilled to announce that the RPS Women in Photography members have cast their votes and selected exceptional winners with incredible and imaginative photography!

The RPS Women in Photography Magazine.

Titled WE ARE as an affirmation of women photographers and our place in the photographic world.  We are an integral element in the history and future of photography.  Open to interpretation, it does not try to define us.

The Women in Photography group is pleased to offer a series of member and professional-led events featuring women photographers who inspire and educate.  

Contact us, if you would like to run a member-led event.

The RPS Women in Photography Group aims to facilitate the celebration, education and collaboration of female and female-identifying photographers. 

We are not a genre. 

We are the discussion that drives a greater awareness of the importance of women photographers past, present and future.

We are always looking for friendly volunteers to join our team

If you are not currently a member of WIP, we invite you to join our community of passionate photographers. By becoming a member, you will have the opportunity to participate in exciting competitions, gain exposure through features in the prestigious WE ARE Magazine, and enjoy numerous other exclusive benefits.

We extend a warm welcome to photographers of all backgrounds and experience levels.

Celebrating the work of women photographers, these are our stories...

The RPS Women in Photography Group run competitions for both members and non-members. In addition to current competitions, we have archived previous competitions here for continued viewing.

The RPS Women in Photography Bursary

In the Name of Light, I Imagine By Mina Boromand.

This bursary was made possible through the generous support of Karen Knorr, HonFRPS. It was to be awarded to a female or female-identifying graduate to assist in the development of a photo project. Projects could include photo essays, exhibitions, documentaries, etc. We received 149 applications from graduate students taking courses in photography or undertaking research in photography.

In addition to the £3,000 award, bursary recipient Mina Boromand received one-to-one mentoring from leading photography expert Zelda Cheatle.

RPS Gallery | TBA Sept 2024 | Free admission

This exhibition asked Women In Photography members to respond to a statement – “who dared to dream” – and seeks to bring together a variety of different photography styles and approaches from photographers at all levels of photographic practice.

It aims to celebrate contemporary female-identifying photographers including trans, queer and non-binary people including those from a diverse ethnic and underrepresented background who have used photography to effect change.

The statement is taken from an interview with Joy Gregory HonFRPS about her new book Shining Lights (MACK, 2024).
