I am a 34 year old female. I have been dabbling in photography for few years now but nothing serious. I do some side projects at work but again, nothing serious.

Recently, there were few opportunities where I got to do street photography for our clothing collection with a few models and I loved it.

But when I go online to look for photography tutorials to expand my knowledge I realized that there aren’t many women in the field.

Is it just me? Or is this a male dominated field? Is it possible to be successful in this field as an older woman?

    Think it’s just something men are more into generally, but don’t see why there would be any issues with women getting into it if the produce good work. Know there is one in my city with a studio and everything. As far as YouTubers I think this is also something just more men are into. Probably because of the technology aspect of the whole thing and men are more drawn to this. I would guess maybe more women are draw to the “story” and “people” aspect of photography. But yeah I’m general men and women are into different things and I guess photography is something more men are into.
