In an industry often seen as male-dominated, photographer Morley von Sternberg and NAWIC London & South East joined forces to shatter these outdated notions with a powerful initiative: The Image of Women in Construction.
This project shines a spotlight on the diverse and dynamic landscape of women working in the built environment, showcasing the breadth of roles they fulfil across the industry. Through captivating photographs, the campaign celebrates these women on their own terms, capturing their strength, dedication, and individual stories.
