About

Founded in 2021, the Photography Foundation Grant is delivered in partnership with The Photography Foundation and LIMI London charity providing £2,500 towards the production of a social documentary or environmental photo essay. This grant is for a maximum 12-month period and can be used towards any combination of travel, equipment or living expenses while completing the project.

2025 Grant winner

We are delighted to announce Anna Neubauer as the 2025 winner of the grant. Her social photographic essay 'The Sky Between Walls’ (working title) aims to document how global warming and weather extremes amplify inequality across the UK.

On the upcoming project Anna says “My approach is to collaborate with participants and tell their stories with dignity, not as spectacle. The Sky Between Walls will amplify voices rarely heard, translate climate data into lived experience, and highlight how climate change deepens social disadvantage in the UK.”

We can't wait to see Anna's work unfold over the 12 month process!
