BREAK THE BIAS

THE POWER OF PICTURES

The way we categorise people is often based on visible features like skin colour, gender, and age. So the images we share with the world are a big part of shaping it. Seeing women, men, and couples portrayed the same way, over and over again, creates biases. Repeated enough those biases lead to the continuation or harmful stereotypes with lasting consequences.

MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Based all around Nordic, coming from various backgrounds, our five photographers have their own unique outlook on the world. Along with that comes five different biases that have a special meaning to them – and that they want to break.

BREAK THE BIAS WITH ÁSA STEINARS

"The Icelandic-based photographer Ása is known to travel Iceland in her van, capturing the beautiful landscapes. Together with Canon she portrays that CEOs can of course be women. And not just women in suits, but all sorts of different women. See the full story."

BREAK THE BIAS WITH KENNETH NGUYEN

"Kenneth is a Copenhagen-based travel, outdoor and fashion photographer. He set out to break the beauty bias, showing that beauty comes in all colours, shapes and sizes. See the full story."
