Firecracker will be hosting an event at the Apple Store on Regent Street, to showcase the work of three distinctive European female photographers - Tessa Bunney, Laura Hynd and Leonie Purchas.

Established in January 2011, Firecracker is an online platform dedicated to supporting and showcasing talent of women photographers across Europe.

The project founder Fiona Rogers and is currently cultural and education coordinator at Magnum Photos in London. She says that "despite many fantastic women working with photographic media, the industry continues to be dominated by their male counterparts," and it is out of this frustration that Firecracker was born.

The event will take place on the 04 April at 7pm, with the three photographers introducing their work and discussing contemporary female photography.
