Women in Photography

LA-based commercial photographer and director Diana Zalucky draws on her own experience navigating the tension between art and commerce to make the case for separating your sense of self-worth from the work you produce. An honest conversation about mindset, self-care, and what it actually takes to sustain a creative life.

From the darkroom to the director's chair, women have long been shaping the visual language of our world. This panel brings together four artists who are doing exactly that, each in her own way.

A conversation on the preservation and study of photographic archives, the fine art print side of the industry, and the responsibility photographers have in preserving their own bodies of work. Bringing together practical, academic, and digital preservation perspectives, the panel covers how historical collections inform contemporary visual storytelling, how photographers choose labs, papers, and formats, and how print sales factor into a sustainable photography business.
