FotoDocument has launched its first photo documentary project with the Environment as the theme. We will commission a small group of photographers worldwide to create a coherent and innovative body of documentary photographs on this important issue.

We will be commissioning photographers who have a proven track record in creating dynamic documentary photography and can present an exciting project idea highlighting solutions to the environmental crisis facing the world.

Following our call for submissions, we received over 300 expressions of interest and 90 completed applications. FotoDocument’s judging panel shortlisted nine documentary photographers from around the world on the strength of their photography and proposals. 

Each photographer will document a positive environmental story in their own country. FotoDocument is now approaching sponsors to fund the reportage of these individual photographers and to forge a mutually beneficial relationship. Please click here to see a pdf of our sponsorship brochure with details of the short-listed photographers and their projects. 

FotoDocument's new on-line Fringe Documentary Project has also been launched. If you have photographs showing environmental initiatives which you believe are inspiring and you would like people to know about, you will be able to post your photographs on-line. The photographs will form part of an on-line picture grid. We will also select the best photographs and the most interesting projects to mount as a touring public exhibition.


FotoDocument's new online Blog is now running. Visitors from around the world can suggest positive environmental initiatives which they are either involved in or know about. From small local initiatives to national green energy programmes, we’d like to hear what is going on in your area. These projects may then be matched with one of our photographers to document for their final body of work. Or you may just want to share your ideas on-line.

We look forward to your participation.
