The mission of Women Photojournalists of Washington (WPOW) is to educate the public about the work and accomplishments of women in the field of photojournalism and to instruct and train women within the Washington D.C. metropolitan area with the purpose of improving and developing their capabilities as photojournalists, photo editors and multimedia producers. WPOW strives to meet this goal with its educational and instructional activities, and by providing opportunities for women in the field to discuss the unique challenges they face.

We are an organization of more than 250 female photojournalists, editors, producers, and students, working in the Washington DC metro area.  Our members' experience ranges from seasoned photographers to new freelancers.  We represent industries including newspapers, wire services, online media, documentary filmmaking, non-profit organizations, and more.

Our member forums will be launching soon. Stay tuned!
