SUMMARY
The 40% Project in the UK aims to visually document the achievement of 40% female representation in British Parliament following the 2024 general election. Over 250 women MPs have been photographed by approximately 130 women photographers, with the goal of publishing the images in a commemorative book. The project seeks to create a visual record of this historical moment, going beyond traditional political portraiture to reveal the personalities behind the roles. Images showcase diverse creative styles and were often captured quickly around the MPs' schedules, highlighting both the subjects and the contributions of women photographers.
