The Market Photo Workshop currently runs two mentorship-based photography grant programmes. The programmes have been developed as a platform from which photographers at a relatively progressed level might enhance and refine their practice through the guidance of an established practitioner. Aimed at emerging photographers, the mentorship process is envisaged as transfer of skills, experience, knowledge and professional practice that might shift talented photographers into a more advanced stage.Â
The mentorship programmes also ensure that rather than simply gaining a grant, the emerging photographer is afforded the support and guidance of a mentor, who is often also able to assist the photographer in gaining a foothold in the broader photography community, developing networks and growing relationships.
