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. 

Details of the short-listed photographers and their projects can be found here

FotoDocument has established a partnership with Southern Railway to showcase the photographic work at a selection of its train stations across the southeast rail network during April, May and June of 2012, with Brighton station as the premier exhibition site.

In April 2012, a small selection of exhibition photographs will also be installed in the plate-glass windows of the Jubilee Library, an award-winning eco building which regularly hosts public art and is situated in Brighton's cultural quarter. We will also present a screening event inside the library where photographers will present their work to an audience of up to 100 people. In May 2012, inspired by the Visa Pour L'image photography festival in Perpignan, France, we will host an outdoor public screening event in Jubilee Square where the projected images will be set to a dynamic score to provide an inspiring and visceral arts experience for the public.

Additionally, a small selection of exhibition photographs will also be installed at HOST gallery (run by our partner Foto8) in central London in June 2012 accompanied by a master class seminar in photography and the environment for Foto8 subscribers and HOST gallery goers. The seminar will be co-run by Foto8 and FotoDocument and will include five speakers over two days and screenings of the exhibitions.

We will also run arts and environment workshops at a number of stations in community/waiting rooms provided by Southern Railway in conjunction with the Sussex Community Rail Partnership.

We look forward to your participation.
