Female Photoclub

Published August 18, 2025

The mission of Female Photoclub e.V. is to draw attention to injustices in the photography industry, shape public discourse, and ensure that the perspectives of female photographers are seen. This is because professional photography, especially in the fields of advertising and photojournalism, is still a cis-male-dominated domain. The association has been instrumental in initiating the debate on inequalities in the industry in Germany and wants to drive change. To this end, the FPC offers a safe space for constructive exchange and a broad network of photographers and supporters.

Taking Space – Creating Space: The corporate design of the Female Photoclub stands for attitude, visibility, and the occupation and reclaiming of space by FLINTA* photographers: the graphic elements open up the space, shift it, and reclaim it. The brackets of the word mark are reminiscent of an aperture. They frame, focus, and make visible. At the same time, they separate the word fe*male in a special way: the asterisk and the bracket refer to identities outside binary structures. The gap becomes a stage for self-designation, diversity, and identity. An aperture in the typographical sense: light penetrates through it, creating visibility.

Corporate design, layout, and web design by studiokwi, with web development by visiert. Photos by Anna Spindelndreier, Jeannette Petri, Ana Maria Sales Prado, Cherie Birkner, Franziska Gilli.
