Photographer launches free photoshoot campaign for International Women’s Day
Esteemed Midlands photographer and co-founder of the International Women’s Day Conference and Expo, Edwin Ladd, has announced the dates for this year’s International Women’s Day Photoshoot.
As a gesture of gratitude to the women who have played a pivotal role in his journey, Edwin is hosting a free week-long photoshoot campaign at the Grand Hotel Birmingham from 15 to 20 January 2024, aiming to capture the essence of empowerment and diversity.
Edwin – a regular photographer at Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce events - started the campaign in 2021 just after lockdown to say thank you to all the women that had helped him in his life and business journey.
With the support of Charlene Wall and Naomi Spencer, Edwin has gone from photographing just 50 people to 150 people and this year hopes to photograph over 300 people as part of the campaign.
The offer of a free photoshoot is open to anyone who wants to take part, regardless of their job title or employment status.
Interested individuals can register for the free photoshoot session by clicking here. Sessions will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and participants are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using the hashtag #IWDshoot24
All the photographs will be professionally edited and can be used by individuals to promote themselves and what International Women’s Day means to them.
Edwin said: “I would like to thank everyone that has supported me over the years, and I hope this small gesture will help empower and raise awareness for female empowerment and change.
“I am commitment to recognising and celebrating the strength, resilience, and achievements of women in our community.”
In addition to the photoshoot Edwin has teamed up with event expert and Future Faces Chamber of Commerce President Kasim Choudhry to launch the IWD Conference and Expo at the Millennium Point on 8 March 2024.
