As an event photographer, it's possible I notice things that organisers and participants simply take for granted. Like all-male panels. Look at the image below. Not only are all five panelists men, they're actually in uniform!
Of course, it's not my job to advise people on the gender balance of their conferences, or the way their panelists dress. I'm there to record the event and deliver images that make it look good. But in 2020 it's hard to make a panel look dynamic and relevant if it is made up exclusively of men.
Guys – pass the microphone please!
