Women of Photography 24 Hour Conference-a-thon
8 March 2025
Online

It was my absolute pleasure to be interviewed for and featured in Laura Perdrizet's paper and presentation "Pioneering Practices: Contemporary Female Photographers Working With Alternative Photo Processes" at the Women of Photography 24 Hour Conference-a-thon.

Laura Perdrizet is an Artist and Scholar based in the US invested in the future of Creative Practice Research. 

Please see below Laura's abstract for her conference presentation. 

Laura Perdrizet, MFA, Artist & Scholar, New York City, U.S.A. >Pioneering Practices: Contemporary Female Photographers Working With Alternative Photo Processes

My paper presents a survey of contemporary female photographers who work with cyanotype and other alternative photographic processes; at once illustrating the aesthetics and issues related to their experimental practices. Inspired by English botanist and pioneering female photographer, Anna Atkins, this paper explores how women working in alternative photography today are innovators, exposing how experimentation and craft are prioritized as they practice in the margins.

Present day alt-photo practices embody the values of contemporary art: art-making is conceptually informed, materiality is central to the process and product, and experimentation is valued over tradition. Widely practiced in the 21st century, female artists are utilizing new technologies, tools, and experimental techniques to create new forms, and as a result are establishing new aesthetics in contemporary photography. Through interviews and artwork images, this presentation investigates the concept of “the pioneer,” addressing the embedded issues from past to present in gender equity and practice, shedding light on the artists’ innovations in photographic art and their resulting impact.
