I am super happy and honored to announce that Diversify Photo selected me as a new full member of their community.
About them in their own words:
DIVERSIFY IS A VERB. IT IS AN ACTION – AN INTENTIONAL MOVEMENT TO BREAK WITH THE PREDOMINANTLY COLONIAL AND PATRIARCHAL EYE THROUGH WHICH HISTORY AND THE MEDIA HAVE RECORDED THE IMAGES OF OUR TIME. DIVERSIFY PHOTO WAS BORN OUT OF RECOGNITION THAT CALLING FOR MORE DIVERSITY IN THE PHOTO INDUSTRY IS NOT ENOUGH. TO DIVERSIFY PHOTO, WE NEED TO EQUIP ART BUYERS, CREATIVE DIRECTORS, AND PHOTO DIRECTORS WITH RESOURCES TO DISCOVER PHOTOGRAPHERS OF COLOR AVAILABLE FOR ASSIGNMENTS AND COMMISSIONS.
