Today is International Women’s Day, and we’re embracing the theme of\u00a0#BalanceforBetter by taking this opportunity to highlight the work and achievements of some of our amazing female photographers. In an industry where the image is king, it shouldn’t matter who’s behind the lens, but it’s hard to deny that the world of wildlife photography has traditionally been rather male dominated, so we’re delighted to celebrate the success of our female photographers.<\/p>\n
