“In the last decade,” Kathryn Keane, vice president of National Geographic Exhibitions, says in a statement, “some of our most powerful stories have been produced by a generation of photojournalists who are women.”
It can be argued that this method is also suited to women photographers, who can have access to spaces men do not, particularly spaces occupied primarily by other women and children. But, as Jodi Cobb says in the wall text that precedes her work, “At first I resisted photographing women because I felt I was being pigeonholed. But when it became my choice, then that changed everything.”
