About AfroShoot
Created in London in 2016, AfroShoot is a direct response to the under-representation of African and Afro-descent photographers.
Indeed, AfroShoot positions itself as an innovative platform bringing together professional photographers from the African continent and the African diaspora. AfroShoot also works to help them gain visibility and access to new opportunities. While doing so, AfroShoot thrives to bring new narratives to light and shape a new vision of the African continent.
In order to grow and be able to better persue its activities, AfroShoot became a Community Interest Company in 2020.
Main activities
First, our talks aim to create a conversation with photographers and art professionals to promote a different vision of photography with an educative intention.
Secondly, our workshops are designed for photographers at various levels as well as for art enthusiasts.
Finally, our gallery tours are personalised experiences specially tailored to discover photography in a new light.

Our narratives
As photographers from a huge continent the diversity of our narratives is immense. We want to share our stories and spread our own visions and experiences of the African continent.
Fostering synergy
We value collaborations between humans and organisations sharing the same vision, because we believe that our strength lies in togetherness and mutual support.
Zoom on Africa
We want our work to redirect the attention on the African continent by collaborating with African artists, but also to stimulate new career interests by working with local organisations to promote photography as a profession.
