London Transport Museum explores the powerful link between transport and the growth of London, its culture and society.
London Transport Museum listens to young people, involving them in decision making. The Museum’s Young People’s Skills team has a clear mandate from young people, where everything we do must support young people to take real steps on their career paths.
London Transport Museum are looking to appoint the 2025 Khadija Saye Photography Fellow to support and photograph aspects of the work of the museum over the course of a yearlong professional development programme. The Fellowship will run from Monday 28 April 2025 to Friday 24 April 2026. Freelance work on this programme is paid at a £120 day rate
What is the Khadija Saye Photography Fellowship?
This Fellowship was set up in memory of Khadija Saye who worked as a Young Freelancer at LTM at the time of her death in June 2017. Khadija was an inspiring activist, photographer, artist and educator just at the beginning of her career. This programme seeks to support more young people, who share Khadija’s drive and ambition, into their careers in arts and culture.
This fellowship will help you develop your skills, experience and networks in the cultural and photography sector. As part of your Fellowship we will provide training to help you establish yourself as a freelancer. You will then be offered different photographic briefs and opportunities throughout the year from teams across the museum. You will also receive training and support from The Photographers Gallery.
What are we looking for?
The Khadija Saye Photography Fellowship is a development role, we recruit based on your motivation and potential and do not have minimum education or work experience requirements. We are looking for people who are:
- Aged 18 – 25 wishing to learn and gain new skills
- Keen photographers ready to start their freelance career
- Problem-solvers
- Excellent communicators
- Able to work within a team
- Interested in finding out what a career in the cultural sector might look like
- Able to organise their own time effectively
As the Fellowship is a freelance role, the amount of work and training you will do each month will vary. The Fellowship is not suitable for someone who is in full-time employment or education. Often Fellows have additional part-time jobs and so the programme is designed to work flexibly with your availability.
