With over a billion people living with disabilities worldwide, it's crucial that we see more inclusive and accurate portrayals in media. Let's continue to push for change and improve how disability is represented in visual storytelling. #DisabilityAdvocacy #Accessibility #Authenticity
🖼️ Getty Images has committed to expanding authentic representation of people with disabilities in its asset libraries. More than a billion people worldwide have a disability, but just two percent of stock images depict them. 📸 Stock images appear in news outlets, corporate websites, advertisements, and elsewhere. We casually stumble across them as we scroll online and on our phones, and they shape our perceptions in meaningful ways. 🖋️ After learning about Getty's efforts, I've taken some time this week to take stock of the state of disability representation in stock photography. #disabilityadvoacy #accessibility #authenticity #representation #photography #visualstorytelling
