Trailblazers



This project was created in collaboration with the Lof Foundation, which is committed to women with ambitions. Through storytelling, Lof puts women in the spotlight, making the power of women to realize ambitions in work, family and society visible.

Together we decided to create a photo series with the theme 'I was the first woman who...'. This is because Lof notices that it is very important for its target group, and in a broader context also society, to put strong role models in the spotlight. Not only to make these achievements visible, but also to break stereotypical images and show that things can be done differently.

For this photo shoot we were interested in photographing women who have held a certain position or role for the first time. This can be in business or politics, but also more broadly in society at an association, in a sport or as a volunteer. Women who have paved the way for others.

Unfortunately even today it is still far from equality when we look at the positions of women. There are still many roles to be conquered.
