Women In Photography Part 2

A few months ago I had an idea about doing a number of different videos. These would consist of Women in Photography, Students Of Photography and Photographic Educators. I could only think of one person who could help me pull this off and that was Katrin Eismann. We recently featured a conversation with Katrin – A Walk in the Park with Katrin Eismann.

Katrin and I are friends and she is not only a great educator but an incredible photographer. She is very active on Facebook and I follow her images daily and every day she is posting images of something new that she has discovered. I asked Katrin to help me with putting a panel of women that were involved in photography that I could sit down with and do a video interview. And, I couldn’t be happier with the results that she made possible for us. Thank you Katrin.

The following video was made in New York City at the School For The Visual Arts. Our guests in this video are three women who are from different aspects of photography and bring interesting and enlightening perspective to what it is like to be a woman in the field of photography. I hope you enjoy this and we do plan to bring more interviews like this to you in the future.

Photography is my passion and has been for 45 plus years. My career in photography has allowed me to travel the world, meet some of the most interesting people on the planet and see things I could never have dreamed of. My goal is to share the passion of pictures taking through photographs and teaching with as many people as I can hoping it brings them as much joy and happiness as it has me. I do this through Rockhopper Workshops and other projects as well as teaching at my Gallery in Indianapolis.
