Photography defines our media and shapes public discourse, yet the industry remains inaccessible to many. We work to directly address these systemic imbalances:
- Gender Gap: 71% of professional photographers are men, and only 13.7% of press images are taken by women.
- Representation: 90% of the UK cultural workforce identifies as white.
- Diversity: The majority of our young participants identify as being from Global Majority or BAME backgrounds.
- Barriers to Entry: We remove the high costs of equipment, industry knowledge, and networks that prevent talented individuals from progressing.
A partnership with Photofusion aligns your brand with a respected Arts Council England NPO and supports essential ESG and CSR priorities.
Audience Reach: Your brand will be seen by approximately 35,000 annual building visitors.
Digital Presence: Access our 13.5k+ Instagram followers and a digital reach averaging 60.5k views per month.
