Research and Education
Forhanna was founded with the aim to support the practice of documentary photography, and to make it futureproof.
By initiating, funding and developing research projects Forhanna actively identifies where the challenges for the industry lie and offers solutions to practitioners and students of photography.
“How can narrative photography be made future-proof?”
Tell Your Story
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?
The New Business of Photography
The research Tell Your Story, initiated by Forhanna in 2019, showed that several ways exist in which documentary work can be produced sustainably.
The research focused on projects and the way they were financed by their makers. Now Forhanna initiates a new research to help identify how photographers can create not just sustainable projects, but sustainable careers.
