Each year Through The Lens Collective awards a year- long mentorship towards a body of work to a promising photographer from our continent. Through collaborative research, thinking and consultation, mentees are challenged, guided and supported over a year long period, with the aim of producing a solid and well considered photographic narrative. TTLC then works with the photographer for another year to develop avenues for professional engagement of the work, which can be used as a springboard for opportunities beyond the mentorship itself. The mentorship is designed to strengthen the practices of local photographers by providing a critical educational framework and a responsive yet focused system for development.
The recipient of the award will be selected by TTLC Founder and Director, Michelle Loukidis.
