Today, we're highlighting two amazing women sports photographers in the NFL: @ToriRichman of the @Buccaneers and Meg Williams of the @49ers!

Here are their thoughts on representation in the industry and shout-outs to the women sports photographers who inspire them most. (thread)

"There has been an increased presence of women in the sports industry throughout the years. I think it’s great. Women have a seat at the table. But a lot of people tend to stop there. What’s important and what matters is what happens once seated at the table." - @ToriRichman

"It means nothing to have a place if you aren’t respected, heard, and treated equally once there. People think that when women come into the industry we have to mold ourselves to fit the culture that was created before our inclusion." - @ToriRichman

"I’m starting my 6th season with the @49ers. I’m really proud of the crew that @TLloyd49 has created. Our photo team is filled with diversity, different backgrounds and unique perspectives. It makes us stronger so we aren’t creating the same images every game." - Meg Williams

"Each photographer's unique experiences and creative backgrounds contribute to our strength as a unit at the @49ers. I’d love to see that diversity amongst all photography teams." - Meg Williams
