International Womens Day 2021

In celebration of International Women's Day we asked our members to send us images that resonated with them and encapsulated the sentiment of this day.

Anne Mannion: International Womens Day 2021

As the AOP celebrates International Women’s Day, we salute the many outstanding women professional photographers. Yet as we recognise our talented women members, it begs the question – why aren’t there more of them? 

Louise Hagger: What I Eat

When the AOP asked me to think of some of the places that formed the foundation of my love of food and the photography of it, it was a dream-trip back into my childhood memories. Four Seasons on Gerrard Street is iconic for their roast duck, it always has been and hopefully always will be amazing - It's one of my absolute favourite dishes to eat!

Kinetics, a major new studio venue

Kinetics 

Kinetics Space is a brand new state-of-the-art film/photographic studio in the heart of the Midlands. Catering for photographic shoots along with XR virtual reality productions, live product launches, virtual conferences, film shoots and set design/build. 
Here we get (virtually) face-to-face with Matt Coombe Managing Director of this amazing studio facility.

LGBTQ+ History Month

We could not let the month go past without acknowledging LGBTQ+ History Month and so  we asked our members to present some images that represent love, equality and unity and that sparked a chord and the need to share.
