Our creative community is full of amazing women photographers who we love to celebrate and elevate every chance we get. As ONA’s debut photography showcase, Reclaiming the Lens holds space for women to take control of the narrative. It’s a reflection of identity that encourages us to reconsider how we see ourselves, in light of and in spite of the expectations of others.

More than a networking opportunity or foray into the fine arts world, Reclaiming the Lens is a clear statement of what we stand for: amplifying women’s voices, perspectives, and creative power.
