Dominique Roger is certainly one of the few living correspondents who contributed from the inside to the ambitious photographic policy promoted by the United Nations (UN) and its specialized agencies in the second half of the 20th century. Between 1976-1992, she directed the Unesco photographic service based in the VIIth arrondissement of Paris, carrying out some 135 international documentation missions in the flesh, or recruiting a varied network of external reporters who put their lenses at the service of technical assistance programs for the promotion of art, education, science and the safeguarding of heritage. Along with her, a French national, there are profiles of other women camera operators such as Italian Florita Botts, who was the official FAO photographer (based in Rome) at the height of the Cold War and the decolonization processes, or Russian Maria Bordy, one of the first press officers linked to the UN headquarters in New York.
