Female in Focus x 1854 Presents: Photographing Motherhood

With Female in Focus 2021 in its final week for entries, we dive into an 1854 Presents mini-series spotlighting voices of leading women photographers and industry leaders across the world. 

In this panel, photographers Ying Ang, Naomi Wood, and Sophie Harris-Taylor each discuss their own distinct approach to an underrepresented topic in the art photography world: Motherhood.  Further than the beauty and wonder of the creation of life, they discuss presenting the trials and tribulations of pregnancy, birth, and raising children in their photographic practices.


Female in Focus is a global award recognising women’s extraordinary contribution to contemporary photography.

See your work exhibited in a major US show, receive international press coverage, and have your work featured on 1854.photography.

All entries close 17 June 2021.
