If you’re a photographer, we’d love to have you join this nonprofit photography workshop in Africa! Our photography volunteer program is a unique opportunity to sharpen your skills and learn about the work of nonprofit organizations. You just need a good camera, basic photography skills, and an interest in giving back through photography.

●Program schedule

Your program will begin with a workshop taught by photographer Anna Lusty. The first week will be focused on how to prepare for shoots and how to best capture (捕捉) the projects in a way that will help raise awareness of their cause, etc. Half days will be spent on theory, and during the other half, we’ll visit a nonprofit organization to put skills into practice.

From the second week, you’ll start your tasks. Each week, you’ll be sent to an organization of your choice. This can include different areas, such as education, animal welfare, sports, and more. You’ll spend your time understanding the projects, and record their work with your camera. At the end of the week, there will be time for post-production, and you can donate a selection of your images to the organization.
