The world of documentary photography finds itself in a paradox. Visual exhibitions continue to attract the masses and institutions as World Press Photo grow internationally. Yet, it becomes increasingly difficult for the average photographer to make ends meet. How can narrative photography be made future-proof?

That’s the central question of Tell Your Story. A New Role for Photography in a Changing Market.

I studied numerous real-life examples from the world of photography, as well as lessons learned from other sectors like online radio and journalism. How are photographers, journalists and artists adopting to the digital economy and the demise of traditional media?

Readers will learn about various earnings and distribution models, and tools to tap into the right market for their work. Additionally, a practical leaflet guides photographers through the various steps of a successful photography project.

The research project was a cooperation with the Forhanna Foundation. You can download the book and learn more about Forhanna here.
