Description:

Photojournalism Fellow — Open Call (International)

The Parlor Magazine is seeking documentary, editorial, and street photographers from anywhere in the world to join our growing visual team as Photojournalism Fellows.

About The Parlor The Parlor is an independent intersectional feminist publication covering the intersections of identity, power, land, and community — with contributors writing and photographing from Gaza, Sudan, Puerto Rico, Kashmir, Brazil, and beyond. We publish work that names harm, centres community voices, and treats culture as a political act.

What is the Photojournalism Fellowship? This is a rolling, ongoing fellowship — not a fixed cohort. Fellows join The Parlor's global visual network and work directly with our editorial team to develop and publish documentary and editorial photography that serves the stories we cover.

Fellows will:

  • Pitch and develop original photo essays and editorial assignments with full editorial mentorship
  • Participate in monthly newsroom sessions where visual stories are developed alongside writers and multimedia contributors
  • Build a body of published work in an internationally distributed feminist publication
  • Collaborate across the newsroom — pairing your images with reported stories, cultural criticism, and data journalism
  • Contribute to both digital and print editions of The Parlor

What we're looking for:

  • Photographers working in documentary, editorial, and street photography
  • Visual storytellers who are inside or proximate to the communities they photograph — trust and access matter
  • Alignment with anticolonial, intersectional feminist values
  • Willingness to pitch independently and work collaboratively
  • Intermediate to advanced experience — we are looking for people who have a practice, not beginners
  • International applicants strongly encouraged

The stories we want to see:

  • Land, displacement, and environmental justice
  • Community resistance and grassroots organising
  • Colonialism as a present-tense reality
  • Women, queer, and marginalised people as protagonists
  • Culture, art, food, and music as survival
  • Street life, labour, and everyday resistance

Time commitment: Approximately 10–15 hours per week

A note on compensation: This is an unpaid fellowship. We are honest about this because our politics demand it — and because we believe you deserve transparency about what you're signing up for.

What fellows receive in return is real:

  • One-on-one editorial mentorship from the founding team
  • Participation in community calls and special learning opportunities
  • Print bylines in an internationally distributed publication
  • Letters of recommendation
  • Industry networking and introductions
  • A collaborative newsroom experience that most publications won't offer until years into your career
  • A founding relationship — the photographers who build The Parlor with us now will be first in line as paid opportunities open up

This is an ongoing open call. There is no deadline. Apply with a portfolio link and a short note about the stories you want to tell.
