3rd edition 2024-2025 of the Women Photographer Mentorship Program

The career accelerator for female photographers

The Mentorat des Filles de la Photo program is designed and organized by Julie Champin (Regard Suspendu), Mathilde Milesi (Image Consulting and Communication Strategy), Véronique Prugnaud (Associate Director The Eyes) and Corinna Schack (Agent de photographes / Phom).
Following the success of Mentorates #1 and #2, which ended with the “Les Expérimentales” restitution exhibitions scheduled as part of PhotoSaintGermain, Les Filles de la Photo is launching this new call for projects open from April 2 to May 27, 2024.
At the end of the call for projects, a jury composed of 10 godmothers and 4 coordinators, all volunteers, experts from the Filles de la Photo and representatives of various professions in photography will select the 5 winners. The 5 photographers will be presented to a professional audience at an announcement evening, end of September 2024.
For 15 months, the 5 photographers will be followed by a pair of godmothers, experts in the fields of art and commission respectively. The winners will have access to the association’s network, methodologies and resources throughout the program.
