"At first I'm human and I'm more interested in camels..."

Topics focussing on women, agriculture, environmental protection, nature conservation and animal welfare tend to become more and more important these days. In a still strongly dominant androcentric society, where women still receive little recognition, but at the same time are expected to do at least 50% more work to be successful, it is high time to draw attention to women in the above-mentioned professions.As such, don’t women therefore have a different approach and possibly a more sustainable approach to nature?
I will photograph women all over the world for this project.
