Each year we appoint a writer in residence to contribute to four editions of our online magazine Photography+. This popular digital publication is read by international audiences and features new writing, imagery, and films, giving a new perspective on photography. This is a paid residency and would suit to an early career writer looking to build their portfolio and profile as a published writer.
