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 Parlor

The 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 mentorship

Participate in monthly newsroom sessions where visual stories are developed alongside writers and multimedia contributors

Build a body of published work in an internationally distributed feminist publication

Collaborate across the newsroom — pairing your images with reported stories, cultural criticism, and data journalism

Contribute to both digital and print editions of The Parlor
