About The Momento
The Momento is a UK-based charitable platform (Registration under process) built with one simple but powerful goal: to empower photographers from every corner of the world especially those from rural, underrepresented, or low-income communities.
We believe talent exists everywhere, but access and opportunity do not. Our mission is to change that.
Founded by passionate photographers who understand the struggles of being unseen and unsupported, The Momento provides free, professional tools and guidance to help photographers grow their skills, showcase their work, and connect with the global creative industry.
Our mission is to break down the barriers that prevent talented photographers from turning their passion into a profession. We aim to provide free, high-quality support, education, and exposure to photographers from disadvantaged backgrounds so that they can thrive in the competitive photography industry.
Offering free portfolio websites to help photographers showcase their work professionally.
Providing expert photo reviews from established photographers and curators, offering feedback to help artists grow.
Hosting workshops and online courses tailored to beginner and intermediate photographers, especially those who lack formal training.
Creating mentorship opportunities where experienced professionals guide new talents.
Building a global community that connects photographers, celebrates their stories, and encourages collaboration.
Organizing exhibitions and competitions to help photographers gain international exposure.
We envision a world where anyone with a camera and a story to tell can succeed, regardless of where they live, how much money they have, or whether they've had formal training.
Art is a universal language and everyone should have the chance to speak it.
Stories from the margins matter and those who live them are the best people to tell them.
Creativity should be nurtured, not gated behind paywalls.
Community is stronger than competition, we rise by lifting others.
We are building a sustainable ecosystem where creative talent is identified, supported, and celebrated, regardless of background. Our platform offers not just tools, but a sense of belonging and a path forward.
Whether it's giving a photographer their first international feature or simply helping them gain the confidence to share their work, our impact is rooted in real, human stories.
