Support the Foundation
Support comes in all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re a professional photographer with a work experience slot to fill, or a creative professional with advice or insights to share with the next generation, we would love to hear from you. Below are a few ideas of how you could support the Foundation, but if you have an idea of your own or would like more information, please do get in touch.
Option 1
Become a mentor
During the Programme, trainees are matched with a mentor to support them with their career goals during and after the Programme.
Mentors are matched with one trainee, meeting with them once a month for a minimum of 6 months. All trainees are aged 18-25 and have an interest in developing a career in a photography related discipline, and a big part of the mentor role will be to support and encourage this.
Option 2
teach a workshop
During the Programme, trainees have weekly workshops aimed at developing both their technical and professional skills.
To deliver these workshops, we hire professionals with experience (or people looking to grow experience in) teaching subjects including post-production, art direction, portfolio curation and studio lighting.
All workshops take place at our studio in Greenwich, and can either be a full day or half day workshop.
" The team at the Foundation are talented, focused and dedicated to their mission. It's wonderful to find a studio that understands the importance of giving back "
- Aidan Synnott, Director of ASV Photography
Option 3
become a volunteer
As our events programme continues to grow, we are recruiting passionate & committed volunteers who can support these events, such as capturing event photography, checking tickets, capturing feedback and working on the bar.
We are looking for people who are interested in photography & community events - who want to develop their skills and be in a creative & community-focused environment.
Option 4
Become a Supporter
We want to create mutually beneficial and individually tailored partnerships with a range of business. We can provide hands on volunteering experiences for your staff and the opportunity for you teams to share their real world experience to help inspire the next generation of young people to join the Uks creative workforce.
