Call for questions for Ridhima Singh

Ridhima won the Landscape category at this year’s British Photography Awards, and her passion for photography is infectious.
Ridhima is an IT finance professional based in the City of London. She picked up her first mirrorless camera only a few years ago, yet she’s already developed a strong artistic voice and built a portfolio that has caught the attention of judges and audiences alike.
Her work is rooted in connection. Whether she’s travelling, standing alone in a vast landscape or chatting to people she meets along the way, she’s always looking for that moment of reflection that brings a scene to life. For her, photography isn’t just a pastime. It’s a way of exploring the world and celebrating the beauty of our planet and even the wider cosmos. She aims to share more than a photograph. She wants to pass on a sense of wonder and appreciation for the landscapes we’re lucky enough to stand in.
If you’d like to ask Ridhima about developing a distinctive style so early in her journey, balancing a demanding career with creative work, building confidence in the field, her approach to travel, editing, or anything else, now’s the time.

You might want to dig into her approach to long-form projects, ethics in storytelling, balancing assignments with personal work, choosing gear or anything else you’re curious about.
Call for questions for Hazel Soper and Ruth Folkard from The Photography Show
Deadline: 09:00 GMT Friday, 12th December 2025
Submit via: podcast@sheclicks.net
Hazel and Ruth are the powerhouse duo behind The Photography & Video Show, and they’ve been huge supporters of SheClicks from the very beginning. Thanks to them, we’ve had our own stand each year, exhibition space and even a dedicated stage for presenting the SheClicks Awards. They champion what we do and they genuinely care about bringing more women into the heart of the show.
I’m delighted to say that Hazel and Ruth will be joining me as guests on the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast. It’s a great chance to hear directly from the two women who keep one of the biggest events in our industry running smoothly.
Hazel has spent two decades steering everything from awards nights to full-blown trade shows. She’s the calm in the storm when events get chaotic, and she’s been looking after the marketing of The Photography & Video Show for more than eleven years. She has a knack for making the whole thing feel joyful, even when the pressure is on.
Ruth, meanwhile, is the show’s event director and the person shaping its overall strategy and content. She’s been with the team since 2016 and loves creating an event that feels hands-on, welcoming and packed with creativity rather than another dull exhibition hall full of stands. She grew up around photography and now balances show life in the Midlands with family life, two small children and a dog called Poppy.
Both of them know the industry inside out, and they’re brilliant at pulling the curtain back on what it really takes to create a show of this scale.
If you’ve ever wondered how decisions are made about speakers, stages and exhibitors, or what goes on behind the scenes as the show comes together, now’s your chance to ask. Maybe you want to know what trends they’re seeing from exhibitors, how they handle those last-minute curveballs, or what future shows might look like?
