Photography

The Everyday Projects uses photography to challenge stereotypes that distort our understanding of the world. We are creating new generations of storytellers and audiences that recognize the need for multiple perspectives in portraying the cultures that define us.We are a global community of visual storytellers — documentary photographers, journalists, artists, and more — all committed to using imagery to combat harmful misperceptions and to rise above persistent inequality. As a nonprofit, we work to provide opportunities for our global community and to provide structure, support, and direction for the diverse and worldwide range of Everyday photography groups.The photography of The Everyday Projects is featured regularly in the world's leading publications and at exhibitions in international galleries and festivals. We work with dozens of schools to reach thousands of students through our visual literacy curriculum, partner with the World Press Photo Foundation to support the African Photojournalism Database, and produce original stories about photography for our publication Re-Picture. We believe in amplifying local voices and in shifting power away from monolithic narratives dominated by a Western, top-down approach to storytelling. We work toward a future of photojournalism and visual storytelling that is inclusive and anti-racist.
