THE STORY OF SPORTS ISN'T COMPLETE WITHOUT ALL OF OUR VOICES.

We're closing a critical gap by creating real pathways for women photographers to lead and reshape how sports are seen.

OUR MISSION

Changing the game behind the lens
Representation behind the lens changes everything in front of it. When women are behind the lens, everything shifts. New stories emerge. New possibilities are seen. Greatness is redefined. Champion Her Shot is a movement to put more women behind the camera photographing all sports, all athletes and reshaping how the world sees power, emotion and greatness. We're here to champion women and non-binary creators who are ready to make sports reflect the world we live in.
