Lucy Arscott
Power Of Her
The opportunity to photograph women’s sports has exposed systemic inequities. Underrepresentation persists because of cultural norms, gender bias, historical exclusion, minimal media coverage, limited investment, sexualisation, stereotyping, pay gaps, economic disparities, and fewer youth opportunities. I design visual campaigns that amplify female athletes, using dynamic imagery to ignite dialogue and demand reform. These campaigns advocate for equitable funding, facilities and coverage while celebrating athletic excellence rather than appearance. Progress exists, but it is slow and insufficient. By centring achievements and authentic narratives, the work challenges entrenched biases, expands the public imagination, and encourages an inclusive sports culture that affords women equal opportunities. The vision extends to supportive networks, pathways, fair salaries, and sustained storytelling for women athletes.
