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
A world free of 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 world-class investigative journalism and grassroots advocacy, empowering individuals to document their own narratives and be part of 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 showcase their photography work to inspire, connect, and educate.
We exhibit photojournalism work that demands to be seen, publish editorial journalism that holds power to account, and are building towards a festival that will bring documentary photography into broader public life. Visual journalism is not a privilege, it is a tool accessible to all.
