500px Commercial Grants: I am: Woman Campaign
The 500px “I am: woman” Commercial Collection was inspired by and shot for “Project ShowUs”, an initiative put together by Dove, Girl Gaze, and Getty Images. The Project was first launched in 2019 and won a Cannes Lion, Silver Lion, Glass: The Lion for Change award, for their groundbreaking work devoted to shattering beauty stereotypes.
Representation of women in advertising hasn’t changed in over a decade. As visual thought leaders, advertisers, marketers, and creatives, we need to be more progressive when it comes to the portrayal of women in advertising:
“70% of women still don’t feel represented in media and advertising.” – Dove Impact of Beauty Stereotypes Quant Study 2019
By shifting this narrative, women reclaim ownership over how they are seen and valued within global culture. It provides space for young girls to recognize value within themselves and for women to understand that there is no ‘cookie-cutter’, ‘one-size-fits-all’, recipe to define what a woman is.
For this collection, 500px worked with nine international photographers who photographed over 80 authentic women who are breaking stereotypes and adding personal context to explain how they identify, who they are, and things they are proud of. The photographers worked intimately with each woman to help keyword her content, providing real keywords that accurately represent who they are as individual people in 2020.
In this Collection you will find leaders, achievers, women in power, business owners, survivors, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, and people who contribute to a community of women who empower one another to stay strong. They contribute to a louder voice within advertising, insisting media and advertisers reflect the authentic experience of women around the world.
Our photographers:
Pam Lau
Toronto, Canada
6 women
“I often think about how power is distributed in photography, with subjects often having little say in what they wear, how they act, and how they’re presented. It was refreshing to be able to capture someone simply as they were, on their terms. I chose to highlight the type of creative role models that I would’ve wanted to see growing up, especially ones that would describe themselves as proud, comfortable, and strong. Each shoot was with a minimal set up and small crew; they felt tender, intimate. When I was capturing one subject with her mother, she even told me that I wasn’t just taking pictures; I was “gifting moments”.”
Meet:
Claire: Dancer, Woman of Colour, Flexibility, Student, Creative, Sisterhood
Vicky & Hong: Together, Mother, Daughter, Bonding
Justine: Working at Home, Illustrator, Artist
Dahyembi Neal
Milwaukee, USA
16 women
“My experience working on the #ShowUs project was definitely eye-opening. I worked with over 15 different women coming from all walks of life and I learned so much. I chose to work with such a large group because I wanted to challenge myself as an artist. Also, as an individual I wanted to learn more about these individual women and be able to tell their stories through their photos. It was so empowering working with everyone and hearing their stories and being able to represent them in their most authentic self.”
Meet:
Taylor: Daughter, Teeth Gap, Bright, Writer, Hair Texture
Afrah: Education, Hijab, Middle Eastern, Strong, Intelligent, Woman
Cynthia: Latina, Down to Earth, Peaceful, Proud, Elegance
Teresa: Entrepreneur, Resilient, Black Woman, Style

Podol’sk, Himki, Moscow, Russia
Balashikha, Berlin, Germany
18 women
“When I was contacted by 500px to do this project, every fibre of my soul screamed, “Yes!” I was thrilled to start scouting people for it. I tend to use “real” women for my artwork anyway, so it was exciting to work with women of all ages and personalities. They inspire me and others with their love or at least readiness to love aspects of our bodies that society has been repressing in the beauty standards for so long – stretch marks, skin discolouration, scars, wrinkles, tattoos, etc. Mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, yoga goddesses, athletes, artists, makers, and inventors. Tender and passionate, caring and firm, strong and soft, shy and confident, serious and bursting with joy. Each and every woman encompasses so much more than her body. What an honor it has been to shoot 18 different women for this project, in the most intimate of settings – in their homes, with their loved ones, sharing things that bring them so much joy. Gently guiding them through the process and allowing them the freedom to be their real selves, all I can hope for is that the intimacy we shared those days translates well on the portraits I took in February.”
Meet:
Iryna: Russian, Yoga, Fitness, Wellness, Peace
Anna: Badminton Player, Burn, Russian, Dance, Beauty, Happy

“It was a great first experience to participate in a guided project such as this. I was able to portray natural, beautiful women, in a candid manner, something I already love to do. It was a new experience to shoot outside of my home country of Germany, but it helped push me out of my comfort zone and create something wonderful.”
Meet:
Munmun: Teenage, Confident, Joyful, Smile, Eyes
Indriani: Teacher, In Control of My Future, Mother in Law, Brave, Individual
Winnie Bruce
Maryland, USA
4 women
“It was so wonderful to work on this project and showcase women who are not normally represented, myself included. One of my subjects described it as, “the best she’s felt during a time in her life where she needed a confidence boost.” The photos of her in her natural element made her feel beautiful. I, myself was one of the subjects, and as someone that has the rare genetic condition: epidermolysis bullosa, it was empowering to be encouraged by a project to embrace scars as they are powerful and beautiful.”
Meet:
Sharleen: Mother, Weight Lifter, Asian, Filipino, Strong
Winnie: Photographer, Business Owner, Mother, Epidermolysis Bullosa

“I enjoyed working on Project #ShowUs because it gave me the opportunity to shoot different types of women who are not typically portrayed in the media. It was important for me to take part in this to not only represent myself but other women as well. Showcasing diversity plays an important role in my life. Through photographing other women, I have come to realize that we’re all in this together and are trying our best to create more diversity.”

“I highly enjoyed being a part of this project. A lot of the women I worked with were women I was acquainted with and admired for different reasons, but hadn’t spent much time with. The project required me to authentically portray these women and showcase how they wanted to be represented, it was a great opportunity to really learn about them and who they are and what really makes them so unique. It was a beautiful experience and I came out of it with even more admiration and respect for these extraordinary women, who in their everyday lives are as true to themselves as they can be. Each model I photographed is very different, but a few things they all share is passion, their own sense of individuality, being inspirations to their communities, and beauty.”
Meet:
Ashna & Zenaeja: Support, Friendship, Encouragement, Teenagers
Rhythm: Arts & Crafts, Creative, Work, Success Diversity
Oluwatosin: Cool Attitude, Street, Hip Hop, Dancer, Performer
Rachel Mayer

“This project was really important to me as it focused on and showcased women in every way. It was really empowering to these women, especially while I was pregnant. I think working on this project helped me gain an understanding of women’s individuality and perspective in so many ways. Working so closely with each model, I got to have a peek inside some of their most sacred spaces and it was really special to photograph that. I’ll remember and cherish this project as a one of a kind opportunity.”

Last year we released the new Licensing Manager to help you focus on making great content, while being able to quickly access the information you need. Since then, we’ve been investing in upgrades for all Licensing workflows to simplify and streamline the overall process for both seasoned professionals and those who are new to the world of stock photography.
That’s why today we’re excited to announce a number of updates to Licensing, including that Licensing is now available on both the Android and iOS apps and the ability to request and add a digital model release to your submissions on web and both apps.
What’s New
Now you can submit to Licensing from anywhere, on your phone. With the quickly advancing quality of mobile phone cameras, we’re excited to offer this new feature on iOS and Android. Upload a photo, enable Licensing with a single tap, choose to License exclusively through 500px, and add a digital model release—it only takes a few seconds.
We’ve also added the ability to request and collect a digital model release for licensed photos that include people on both the apps and on the web. Simply fill out a quick form for each photo and either email or text the request link to your model for them to approve! Once they’ve given their consent, the form will automatically be added to your image and your submission will be complete—no more PDFs required!
And finally, we’ve given the Licensing Manager some updates including an all new look. Your Photo Manager and Licensing Manager are now easily accessible within a shared experience. The Photo Manager is focused on all of your content, while the Licensing Manager is where you’ll track and manage your submitted content through the review process. You can easily flip back and forth between each tab.
The latest update to Licensing brings us closer to our ultimate goal of providing an easy, seamless experience across all platforms for all users who want to submit photos to Licensing. You upload and click one button, we take care of the rest! Check it out and submit a photo today.

A Message from 500px
The 500px team wanted to take a minute to address the impact that COVID-19 is having and send our love and best wishes to our millions of photographers around the world. We know that this is an extremely difficult time for everyone as you practice social distancing and we want to do whatever we can to help keep spirits boosted and creativity flowing.
At 500px we’re a team of photographers and creators too, so we understand the frustration of not being able to grab your gear and head outside, or shoot that big campaign you’ve been planning for months. And as the world around us changes and we adapt to the concept of ‘social distancing’ it can be easy to let the stress take over and fall into a creative rut. But we want to encourage you to pick up your camera and continue to do what you love despite these difficult times.
Photography has the ability to evoke emotion and spread a global message, which is why photographers have the unique ability to showcase this situation from different angles, the good and the bad.
“No Place Like Home” Campaign
Starting today 500px will be launching a series of creative challenges aka Quests that focus on “conscious living”. As your safety is essential, all Quests will be based around a unique theme that can be shot from the comfort of your home. We’ve also worked with some amazing photographers to create tutorials to get those creative juices flowing.
See what Quests are running now.
As this situation continues to develop, the demand for ‘at home’ content is growing significantly. Brands are in search of commercial photography that shows simple routines and rituals such as washing your hands, cleaning and disinfecting your space or working from home. While Licensing is by no means a requirement to win, we encourage you to submit your images for Licensing to help provide these brands with the relevant content they need while also earning a bit of money on the side.
Learn how to Licence your work in just a few clicks here.
500px Daily Challenges
Starting April 6 we will also be launching Daily Challenges via 500px Groups. These challenges are meant to keep the photography community engaged and connected during this time. They are also a great excuse to dig through your camera roll and archives to upload and share photos you may have forgotten about. We encourage you to check out the challenges daily and share your photos, give feedback to others, and upvote the shots you love.
You can check out 500px Daily Challenges here.
Again, from the entire team at 500px. We wish nothing but the best for you and your loved ones. We want to be here for you during this difficult time as much as we can, even if it’s just showing you a photo that makes you feel good. So with that said… we leave you with a Gallery of cute animal photos to hopefully put a smile on your face.
