UKBFTOG
Who We Are
The UKBFTOG community was created to help black women find other black women in the photography industry. The Photography industry is dominated by men, so it was extremely difficult to find other individuals like ourselves, who can relate to our experiences as black women. Being the only black female photographer in a room of your peers can feel very lonely and intimidating but we no longer have to feel like this because of the UKBFTOG community.
Currently, we have a private Facebook community group of nearly 500 ladies, which continues to grow. We also have a following on Twitter and Instagram alongside a mailing list that we use to connect with individuals who do not have Facebook.
We do meetups for the ladies that range from educational, social and co-working gatherings. We also make a conscious effort to attend photography conventions as we have found that most of our community were unaware of them.
December 2022 marked 5 years since the UKBFTOG community was created by Jemella Ukaegbu and it is just getting bigger and bigger. Without all the ladies contributing to the community, whether that is sharing meetups, attending meetups, posting in our facebook group etc. there would be no community. So we just want to thank you to the UK Black Female Photographers that have contributed so far and welcome to those who are just about to begin.
