Khadija Saye Photography Fellowship
London Transport Museum
Applications are now open for our 12-month career development programmes Young Freelancers and the Khadija Saye Photography Fellowship at London Transport Museum.
London Transport Museum are looking to appoint the 2026 Khadija Saye Photography Fellowship 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 Wednesday 2 September 2026 to Friday 3 September 2027. Freelance work on this programme is paid at a £130 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.
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.
