FREE ENTRY / Photoworks - Writers in Residence 2026

Photoworks would like to appoint two Writers in Residence for 2026 to each contribute to two issues of Photography+. This role includes working closely with Photoworks’ Assistant Curator and Editor, Amin Yousefi, to meet deadlines and deliver two articles of approximately 1000 words.

Photography+ is our quarterly online magazine. Read by international audiences, the digital publication showcases new writing, imagery, and perspectives on photography. Each issue focuses on a different theme, exploring how photography crosses over with everyday life. In past issues, we have focused on themes such as vernacular photography, ageing, the power of photography, hope and futurity and more. 

The successful writers should have a working knowledge of contemporary photography as well as a willingness to look beyond photography for inspiration. This opportunity suits early-career writers looking to gain experience writing and publishing online. Photoworks is based in the UK, but writers are welcome to apply from all over the world. This is a paid residency with a fee of £300 per article, with expected outputs of two articles plus online or in-person meetings with the Photoworks team.
