Words from our winner:
"Winning the Creator of the Year award is a huge honor! It motivates me to keep creating and, just as importantly, to keep encouraging other women to pursue their creative passions too. As a longtime Sony user and fan, it’s incredibly meaningful to be recognized by a brand I respect so much. It confirms I’m on the right path and pushes me to keep doing the work."
"To me, the Sony Alpha Female community is about more than photography, it’s about shifting the narrative and creating space for women to thrive creatively. What sets it apart is how supportive the community is. I’m proud to be part of a group that values collaboration, representation, and connection." – Beth Mancuso
