For the second year in a row, Avison Young has partnered with Women Photograph and engaged some of their incredible photojournalists to capture more powerful portraits of our people, and keep shining a light on gender equity – a shared challenge for both our industries.
While industry-wide change has been slow, we are committed to supporting a gender-balanced workforce and industry. We’re a Globe St Diversity Champion, CREW Partner and are actively working to advance women in real estate.
Partnering with female and non- binary photographers is just one more way we can highlight the diversity challenges facing our industries.
“We’re thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Avison Young this year, once again centering authentic voices from the Women Photograph community of 1,500+ women and nonbinary photojournalists. Our mission is to work towards a more equitable and more inclusive community of visual storytellers, and we’re proud to join forces for this year’s Impact Report”, explains Daniella Zalcman, Founder and Executive Director of Women Photograph.
