Professional Women Photographers (PWP)

Professional Women Photographers (PWP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of women photographers. Through exhibitions, workshops and networking opportunities, PWP creates a dynamic and inspiring environment that encourages individual growth and promotes public interest in photography. The PWP monthly lecture series combines social networking with the opportunity to meet successful photographers and industry leaders who discuss their careers, artistic inspiration, and technical choices. Our members range from photojournalists to fine art photographers and includes both seasoned professionals and newly emerging photographers. Each year PWP’s Community Outreach Program helps struggling New Yorkers by donating photography services to a nonprofit organization. It also provides mentoring and photography lessons to children and teens in need. In 2010, PWP was honored for this work by Women In Need with its Suzanne Pincus Commit to WIN Award. In 2011, PWP was included in the WQXR Star Initiative that recognizes excellence in the arts, and one of its blog articles was named to Photoshelterʼs list of Best Blog Posts of 2011.
