Our ‘EMERGING ARTISTS’ initiative was established in 2023 by Morgan Evans. This showcase of outstandingly talented emerging photographers is essential to address the persistent lack of balanced representation and diversity in commercial photography. This is the second cohort of artists, with over 600 applications from photographers and directors around the world, we are thrilled to introduce this cluster of 7 fantastic creatives who we will be supporting and marketing over the next two years.
This groundbreaking two-year programme offers bespoke portfolio development, talks, and workshops, providing community, industry insights, on set experience, client critiques and networks.
The emerging artists initiative remains committed to discovering, showcasing, and empowering talented minority and female voices within our industry. We are not these photographers agents, we do not charge for this service, we are motivated solely with a desire to disrupt the traditions of our sector, to propel these talented individuals commercial practise and help diversify the pool of competition across our sector.
This cohort will run 2025-2027 and we look forward to expanding our client list, awards and accomplishments over the next two years. It is only with support of clients, colleagues and commissioners that we can continue this year on year. So please reach out to [email protected] to chat about how we can collaborate.
The initial cohort, 23-25, our trial years were wildly successful, with commissions both local and international, publishing deals, Cannes lions and Forbes accreditation. We are grateful to all the clients and colleagues who supported this endeavour, gave time, paid fairly, critiqued portfolios and offered insight. Long may it continue.
