Women ARE Joining Photography… So Why Are They Leaving?

Women ARE Joining Photography… So Why Are They Leaving?

Women are everywhere in photography courses, workshops, community groups and creative spaces… so why do so many disappear before long-term professional success, visibility or sustainability?

In this episode of The Loud Lens, Khandie Rees explores the uncomfortable but important conversation around women in the photography industry: from burnout, motherhood and caregiving pressures to confidence, visibility, microaggressions and industry culture.


This isn’t a “men vs women” conversation. It’s a deeper look at the systems, expectations and realities that can make creative careers harder to sustain long-term, particularly for women and women of colour.

Khandie also discusses:

  • why women-focused photography groups exist
  • the backlash those spaces sometimes receive
  • invisible labour in photography
  • why some genres are respected differently
  • social media pressures
  • safety, networking and visibility
  • the difference between entering photography and surviving it professionally

The episode also acknowledges progress within the industry, supportive communities, and the importance of listening to a wide range of experiences beyond one perspective.

Whether you’re a photographer, creative business owner, parent, educator or somebody trying to survive the creative industry without burning out completely — this conversation will probably hit home.
