Outreach & Community

Welcome to the TPF community! Keeping us connected and inspired online by sharing photography resources, industry insights and our TPF Blog.
We hope you enjoy being a part of the community.

Outreach

Community is at the heart of all we do. We are committed to sharing our knowledge by offering photography related outreach programmes to other charities and third sector organisations working with young people. From open days to careers talks, our outreach offer outlines how you can work with us to support the young people you work with.

Community

Our community programmes are an important part of our commitment to promoting the art of photography to the wider community. Working in partnership with organisations such as Hackney Council, Create Jobs and The Photobook Café, we create opportunities for young people in London to create, connect and share.

THIS WAY FOR THE FUTURE

This Way for the Future is a community photography project in collaboration with Discover Young Hackney. At the start of 2021 we ran six free creative photography workshops with a group of Hackney-based young people. From a make your own photowalk session to a zine making workshop with GRRL Zine Fair, we celebrated the art of photography with the local community.

As a part of this project, we commissioned a series of short videos on tips and advice for young people starting out in photography, directed and produced by Chris K. Batantu from CKFRMDAY.
