The trade organization, Black Female Photographers (BFP) announced their first National Black Female Photographers Day (NBFPD).
NBFPD is a 15 city national movement to unite Black women photographers from all over the country. On Saturday, Sept. 15, hundreds of people from all over the nation will gather on photo walks to celebrate the art of photography and to declare that Black women have a place in the photography industry.
“This is the follow up event (after the website launch) in our public campaign to increase the visibility of Black female photographers as a group and to establish our photographic leadership. It is a very simple premise with long lasting impact on everyone involved. It’s a chance for walk leaders and the general public to showcase the beauty of their cities through their passion of photography, and to engage the public in what we do as focused artists” explained Kym Scott, President and Founder of BFP.
