Participation and Representation in Landscape, Nature and Wildlife Photography
We are carrying out this survey to better understand women's participation in landscape, nature and wildlife photography, along with any barriers or obstacles that may exist so that we can help to address them. We designed this survey predominantly for women, but we are also interested in the responses of men so that we can compare if/how women and men participate in the field differently.

For the purposes of this survey, landscape and nature photography includes any outdoor photography where you are shooting scenery - on land, underwater, or aerial, and both day and night photography. In this category we include wide landscape views as well as smaller, more intimate and abstract scenes. Wildlife photography includes all animals, birds, fish, and insects. These can be in urban spaces as well as in the countryside and wilderness.
