Founded by Polly Irungu, and launched in July of 2020, Black Women Photographers (BWP) is a global community, directory, and hub of over 1,000 Black women and non-binary identifying photographers, spanning over 50 countries and 35+ U.S. states.

Black Women Photographers is a home for Black women to receive proper recognition, and, most importantly, get hired. Dedicated to providing a resource for the industry’s gatekeepers, it supports its members by promoting their work in an active database distributed to photo editors, directors, curators, and art buyers.

The collective also offers free educational resources such as regular programming of webinars, workshops, training, and portfolio reviews. Through conversation, workshops, educational resources, virtual and in-person events, and an active directory of photographers available for hire, BWP is committed to providing a home for Black women-identifying photographers to increase access to professional and paid opportunities for Black creatives around the world.
