Be Inspired: Contemporary Women Photographers Featured on Lomography

In celebration of International Women’s Month, we’d like to re-acquaint you with some of the finest contemporary women photographers that we’ve featured on the magazine.

Alina Rudya

"While her photographs are proof of her talent, Alina Rudya is a living testament to the truth that whoever you are, wherever you come from, or whatever past you have, you are entitled to the beauty of the world and the privilege to capture and preserve it as a memory. Our experiences can make or break us, and in Alina’s case, her past was instrumental in molding the talented individual she has become."

Amber and Ashlie Chavez

"As siblings, they may bicker and fight a lot, but behind the cameras, it's an entirely different story."

Brittany Markert

"A young woman finds her place behind the camera, after creating a name in front of it. Here’s an interview with America’s Next Top Model alumna turned film photographer Brittany Markert."

Margaret Durow

"In this feature, she eagerly shares with us her beginnings in photography, her inspirations, as well as how her career in the sciences plays a role in her artistic pursuits."

Mariam Sitchinava

"A fashion and film photographer based in Tbilisi, Sitchinava’s work is dominated by delicate, beautifully-composed photographs of women."

Ana Mercedes

"Through an e-mail interview, where she opened up more about herself and her work."

Jeri Lampert

"Jeri Lampert is a fashion, travel and portrait photographer based on New York. She’s done work for brands like Gap, The Brooklyn Museum, The San Francisco Chronicle, Joor and Macy's among many others."

Coco Alexander

"Her work is magnificent, and we fell in love with it, so we asked her to try out the Petzval Lens with her Nikon Camera and she came back to us with the most beautiful portraits."

These ladies have proven that chauvinist, stereotypical, old-fashioned views on women have no place in our society. Their talent and hard work have paid of and they are now carving paths of their own in the world of photography. Let's celebrate these lady photographers, their counterparts around the globe, and all the women in our lives. Happy International Women's Month to all women out there.
