Job Description
Photojournalism Fellow — Open Call (International)The Parlor Magazine is seeking documentary, editorial, and street photographers from anywhere in the world to join our growing visual team as Photojournalism Fellows.
About The ParlorThe Parlor is an independent intersectional feminist publication covering the intersections of identity, power, land, and community — with contributors writing and photographing from Gaza, Sudan, Puerto Rico, Kashmir, Brazil, and beyond. We publish work that names harm, centres community voices, and treats culture as a political act.
What is the Photojournalism Fellowship?
This is a rolling, ongoing fellowship — not a fixed cohort. Fellows join The Parlor's global visual network and work directly with our editorial team to develop and publish documentary and editorial photography that serves the stories we cover.
Fellows will:
Pitch and develop original photo essays and editorial assignments with full editorial mentorshipParticipate in monthly newsroom sessions where visual stories are developed alongside writers and multimedia contributorsBuild a body of published work in an internationally distributed feminist publicationCollaborate across the newsroom — pairing your images with reported stories, cultural criticism, and data journalismContribute to both digital and print editions of The ParlorWhat we're looking for:
Photographers working in documentary, editorial, and street photographyVisual storytellers who are inside or proximate to the communities they photograph — trust and access matterAlignment with anticolonial, intersectional feminist valuesWillingness to pitch independently and work collaborativelyIntermediate to advanced experience — we are looking for people who have a practice, not beginnersInternational applicants strongly encouragedThe stories we want to see:
Land, displacement, and environmental justiceCommunity resistance and grassroots organisingColonialism as a present-tense realityWomen, queer, and marginalised people as protagonistsCulture, art, food, and music as survivalStreet life, labour, and everyday resistanceTime commitment: Approximately 10-15 hours per weekA note on compensation:
This is an unpaid fellowship. We are honest about this because our politics demand it — and because we believe you deserve transparency about what you're signing up for.
What fellows receive in return is real:
One-on-one editorial mentorship from the founding teamParticipation in community calls and special learning opportunitiesPrint bylines in an internationally distributed publicationLetters of recommendationIndustry networking and introductionsA collaborative newsroom experience that most publications won't offer until years into your careerA founding relationship — the photographers who build The Parlor with us now will be first in line as paid opportunities open upThis is an ongoing open call. There is no deadline. Apply with a portfolio link and a short note about the stories you want to tell.
