While women account for 85% of consumer purchasing power, they are woefully underrepresented behind the camera, creating the images behind entertainment and advertising campaigns. Male photographers account for 90% of the commercial work – a disparity fueled by the “boys club” mentality that is out of step with the times.
Photographer Jill Greenberg decided to address the issue head on with the creation of Alreadymade, an online director of women photographers, which she launched in tandem with a TEDx Talk titled “The Female Lens.” Here, Greenberg shines a light on the gender gap in the photography industry and the ways in which it reshapes the way we see the world.
Alreadymade, an online directory, seeks gender parity in advertising by providing a resource for clients looking to hire experienced women photographers.

Photographer Jill Greenberg has launched an online directory in an effort to promote women photographers for advertising jobs, film and television key art, and magazine covers. Called Alreadymade, the platform serves as a resource for clients looking to hire experienced women photographers. To be included on the site, photographers have to have shot at least three ad campaigns, and have handled productions with budgets north of $125,000. Forty-nine women photographers are now listed on Alreadymade, and Greenberg says she plans to continue adding to the list.
Today, I am sharing an interview that photographer and blogger, Ken Weingart conducted with photographer Jill Greenberg. Ken has been producing interviews for his Art and Photography blog, and he has kindly offered to share a few with the Lenscratch audi

Ken had a chance to ask Jill about her photographic beginnings and where her journey in photography is going.
Program host Bob Garfield uses Jill Greenberg’s controversial portrait session with John McCain as a point of departure for raising provocative questions about editorial portraiture in general: Why aren’t editorial portrait photographers held to the same journalistic standards as other journalists? And where’s the line between a photographer’s prerogative and a ‘gotcha’ image?
Like others at the Atlantic, I was appalled to read about the actions of Jill Greenberg, the freelance photographer who took the cover portrait that illustrates my article about John McCain. Greenberg doctored photographs of McCain she took during her Atlantic-arranged shoot, which took place last month in Las Vegas. She has posted these doctored photographs on her website, which you can go find yourself, if you must. Suffice it to say that her “art” is juvenile, and on occasion repulsive. This is not the issue, of course; the issue is that she betrayed this magazine, and disgraced her profession.
When The Atlantic called Jill Greenberg, a committed Democrat, to shoot a portrait of John McCain for its October cover, she rubbed her hands with glee.
