Short Description:
This year’s PhotoVogue Global Open Call celebrates the limitless ways women see and are seen—embracing photography and film as powerful tools to reclaim, redefine, and expand visual storytelling.
This open call does not seek to define a singular “woman’s gaze” but rather to embrace the limitless ways in which women see, interpret, and reconstruct vision. It is not about opposing dominant visual paradigms but about affirming women’s perspectives as diverse, fluid, and self-determined.
At a time when women’s identities are under attack, when their rights and very existence are being erased, photographing women is an act of affirmation. It is a declaration that they exist, that they see, and that they are seen – on their own terms.
