Sep 14, 2022

We are thrilled and honoured to be recipients of the Getty Images Program Grants in support of our mentorship programme.

Emerging Photographer Mentorship Programme supports the professional development of Ugandan photographers, allowing young content creators to make the leap to full‑time photography.

Congratulations to other grant's recipients!
