Photojournalism Hub was founded by Cinzia D’Ambrosi, photojournalist, documentary photographer and curator, to use photojournalism as a tool for social change and to create accessible pathways into the profession for underrepresented voices.
Vision
The Photojournalism Hub envisions a world free from social injustice and human rights abuses
Mission Statement
The Photojournalism Hub is a community interest company dedicated to using photojournalism as a tool for social change. We bridge the gap between investigative journalism and grassroots advocacy, empowering individuals and communities to document their own narratives and participate in social change.
As the UK’s first dedicated centre for photojournalism, we train the next generation of photojournalists and citizen journalists, providing high-quality photojournalism and documentary photography training. We present the work of contemporary photojournalists and create opportunities for audiences to engage with photography that informs, challenges and inspires.
We exhibit photojournalism that demands to be seen, publish stories that bring under-reported issues into public view, and develop programmes that connect photography with communities, education and social justice.
Visual journalism is not a privilege; it is a tool accessible to all.
Our Work
We work across five interconnected areas:
Photojournalism & Documentary Photography
Promoting independent photojournalism and documentary photography that engages with social justice, human rights and under-reported issues.
Community & Citizen Journalism
Providing training and support for individuals and communities to document their own experiences and report the issues that affect their lives.
Photographers & Professional Development
Creating platforms and opportunities for emerging and established photojournalists to develop, share and present their work.
Education & Participation
Using photography projects, workshops, exhibitions and publications to create accessible pathways into photography, strengthen communities and support personal and creative development.
Research & Collaboration
Fostering cross-border research, independent journalism and visual storytelling collaborations that encourage cultural exchange and social change.
