About:

We're accepting applications for the Spring 2024 session of the Magnum Foundation Fellowship (NYC Work-Study Fellowship), a program offering a project production grant, mentorship, and arts administration experience to early-career photographers and photojournalists. This fellowship is designed for early-career photographers looking for an opportunity to deepen, expand, and complete a New York City based project. We encourage applications from people who have at least one completed long-term project, including recent graduates and self-taught photographers. This program is open to photographers of all ages.

During the fellowship, fellows produce an in-depth photography project in New York City that speaks to social issues and engages with NYC-based communities. Fellows are encouraged to build relationships with their subjects, build partnerships with relevant organizations, and experiment with narrative forms and storytelling techniques. Fellows receive mentorship and project development support from Magnum Foundation staff and our extended network throughout the duration of the fellowship. Fellows meet with the MF team bi-weekly to share progress and get feedback on their documentary photography project.

In addition to producing a project, fellows gain arts administration by spending two days a week working in the Magnum Foundation office. Fellows are considered an integral part of Magnum Foundation’s team and are expected to make significant contributions to the day-to-day work we do at Magnum Foundation, and to use this time to learn more about the running of an arts nonprofit. The fellows work on a range of projects in the New York office including research on social issues, exploration of emerging technologies and platforms, multimedia production, and event production. Candidates should have expertise in at least one of the following areas: arts administration, research, writing, video production, or graphic design. Candidates will be paired with Magnum Foundation projects according to their expertise and interests. In addition, fellows’ responsibilities include working and photographing periodic evening events.
