The Wonder Women Photography Project is a unique photography project that aims to inspire women to overcome challenges of self-doubt and image obsession, and gain a greater sense of opportunities as they follow their dreams and passion.
It is an Australian initiative showcasing 11 sportswomen who don’t necessarily fit the norm, or have recognised media profiles. The project demonstrates that success is not dependent on how others perceive you, but comes from within and from a determination to achieve.
The creators of the project have turned to Australian on-line crowd funding platform Pozible to raise the necessary funds $35,000 for a photo exhibition, VIP opening launch and coffee table book. The campaign ends 28 September 2013 and can be access at http://pozible.com/wonderwomenphotographyproject
“Women are too often told that they can't do something, or to stop dreaming. We wanted to show girls and women everywhere that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. These women have fought against all odds to get to their level of success, winning accolades and admiration along the way. We want to remind girls and women that there is a Wonder Women in all of us,“ said project creator and photographer Maya Sugiharto.
Co-creators of the Wonder Women Photography Project, The Agents, are a motivating back-story in their own right. Three years ago on a shoestring budget, The Agents threw aside established corporate roles to follow their own dreams – and started their business Agent Morphe Design.
