Any women leica photographers

Sure!!....there are any number of women using Leica cameras and lenses, maybe you haven't noticed us because we may be more subtle about it than are male photographers?

As regards reviewing Leica products perhaps women do not feel the need to spring into print and air our opinions as urgently as do men. (No insults intended here :) )

Stella Johnson, Deanne Fitzmaurice and Maggie Steber are three accomplished contemporary female Leica photographers I've met personally. There was a female Leica photographer named Tina Manley who used to post a lot on the LUG and often discussed equipment, but otherwise I don't know of any female Leica reviewers.

Hello Everybody,

 

There are & have been a significant number of women writing on this Photo Forum over the years. Some write under other names. A number use their own names, at least in their signatures, if not always in their avatars.

 

As for women writing reviews about equipment: Karen Nakamura, as an example, has been writing on the Inter-Net for a number of years.

 

Because this Forum has a much greater number of readers than it does participants & because the visible number of women writing here is not reflective of women's participation in photography in general or women's using Leitz/Leica equipment specifically: It might be interesting to discuss how to make it more desirable for more women to come out of the audience of readers of this Forum & to become more active participants.

 

I am sure there are a number of women reading somewhere on this Forum today who would become more active participants if .................?

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael
