Nan Goldin’s another one. Not really a fan, but if you like gritty, she’s got grit in spades.

Cindy Sherman. Most famous for her “Untitled Film Stills” series, designed to look like movie stills from movies that don’t actually exist.

Here's another one. Dorothea Lange, one of the Farm Security Administration documentary photographers during the Great Depression. Fun Fact: The editor/head of the FSA photography project, Roy Stryker, was infamous for literally killing negatives he didn't like with a hole punch. Dorothea Lange's negatives never got hole-punched.

I'd actually never heard of that series, so I think Untitled Film Stills is more well-known.

There is also, of course, the possibility that I'm just not as smart as I think I am.

Yes, you're right. In my defence I first saw "Bus Riders" in 1983 when "Untitled Film Stills" (1977-80) was still quite new. So when I think of her I think of that.

Why do female photographers who don't do social issues, intimate people's portraits/lifestyle works and le quirky self-portraits get so little attention?

Vivian Maier is, by far, my favourite photographer of all times.

She gets a lot of hate here for being a meme photographer, but yeah, I agree, she was legitimately really good at photography.

I mean, female photographers in general don't get a lot of attention, which is why threads like this are nice until they turn into shitshows.

Here's a challenge for you: Do some research, find some women who do photography in genres not on your list there, and post about them here so they get a bit more attention.

Are you serious? Mediocre to dogshit tier work by female photographers gets featured on pop photography magazines all the time. It's literally easy to get your work recognized if you're a woman because most photogs are dudes and mags want diversity.

Elena Chernyshova; Her series Norilsk got viral last year and was pretty high quality. I like her work compared to most female photogs. But the bitch follow-unfollowed me on insta.

The logic here is similar to the old joke that no one ever drives in NYC because there's too much traffic.

I.e., the reason you occasionally see female photographers highlighted for being female is because they generally don't get as much attention compared to the torrential onslaught of dudes with cameras in the world.

>Elena Chernyshova
Oof, these are some good damn pictures. Thanks for that! http://elena-chernyshova.com/wordpress/
