Our Story
The Photography Foundation was created in 2019 by two friends, Dom and Mikael. With Mike's entrepreneurial background and Dom's extensive experience in the photography industry, they recognised the importance of merging their skills and dedication to making photography and the industry more accessible and representative.
In 2019, they received the keys to the Shoreditch studio and began putting a team together while kitting out the new space. By the summer of 2020, the TPF team had five members of staff on board and welcomed its first cohort of trainees.
Throughout 2021, the team continued to grow, welcoming more new members of staff and more sets of trainees. In early 2022, the Foundation made the decision to begin a new chapter and relocate from our beloved Shoreditch studio to the Design District in North Greenwich, a new permanent home for creatives south of the river.
Since September 2022, we have delivered a diverse range of workshops, talks, and events while steadily growing our cohort of trainees. We have also expanded into delivering outreach workshops to other organisations, including Youth Groups and other charities. Our goal is to keep expanding and to forge partnerships with like-minded organisations and individuals.
