Keep an eye on this incredible list of photographers on Diversify Photo, you may see some familiar names soon The University of the Arts from the Photo Program! Diversify is a verb. It is an action an intentional movement to break with the predominantly colonial and patriarchal eye through which history and the mass media has seen and recorded the images of our time. Diversify was born out of a recognition that calling for more diversity in the photo industry is not enough. To diversify photo, we need to equip Art Buyers, Creative Directors, and Photo Directors with resources to discover photographers of color available for assignments and commissions.
