“Female water cinematographers fail to make the leap from emerging practitioner to sustained careers and positions of influence, which leads to under-representation.
Many fall behind in experience and equipment ownership which leads to a lack of confidence in their abilities to fulfil the requirements of a professional water shoot. Yet their gaze, creativity, sensitivity and connection to characters and stories are critical for an inclusive and culturally broader voice in cinema.”
