Have there been any unexpected or surprising outcomes from your work that continue to resonate with you?

We definitely didn’t expect to have international branches in NYC, Aotearoa, Prague, South Africa and Greece! Our international branches operate as a franchise with no oversight from the UK branch. This means that different regions can respond exactly as they feel is right to the needs & issues affecting their local industry.

You’ve organised events in various cities. Can you share a bit about an upcoming project you’re currently working on?

Since everything we do at PhotoVogue is rooted in empowerment and collaboration with entities that share our values, is there a women-focused organization you’d like to spotlight or give a shout-out to?

Not a woman-focused organisation but Trans+ On Screen, spearheaded by Helios Blanc is doing amazing work in the UK film industry, working with trans+ and non-binary talent to get their work made. We can’t wait to see some of the films they’re currently developing and producing.
