Royal Albert Hall has launched Future Focus, a new mentorship program for emerging live entertainment photographers.
The four-month program, which runs from September to December 2026, offers mentorship, shadowing opportunities, and participation in professional workshops. Participants in the workshop will have the chance to photograph events at Royal Albert Hall and showcase their work in a special exhibition at the venue.
The program will be led by professional live entertainment photographers Andy Paradise, Frances Marshall, and Temi Adegbayibi.
Applications from photographers between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be accepted through August 23rd.
“We couldn’t be more excited to launch this opportunity for aspiring young photographers, with the partnership and generosity of Andy Paradise, Frances Marshall and Temi Adegbayibi as mentors,” says Matt Todd, the Royal Albert Hall’s Director of Programming. “Future Focus is about much more than developing technical skills. We’re committed to creating inclusive pathways into the creative industries, helping young people build confidence, develop their talents and see that there is a place for them in this sector. We can’t wait to see the applications for our inaugural year.”
