The world is full of untold stories, but many regions across Africa, Asia, South America, and other emerging economies lack the resources to share their perspectives. This is where Oedipa Agency comes in.
We’re creating an educational platform and photo agency to empower aspiring photographers and photojournalists from these regions, giving them the skills, mentorship, and opportunities to tell their own stories. By building professional portfolios and connecting them with international media outlets, we aim to diversify global news coverage and provide income-generating freelance opportunities. This can help reduce unemployment and foster economic independence.
Why It Matters
Global news often lacks perspectives from these regions, leaving vital stories underreported. By training local photographers, we can help change that. Photography is a powerful tool for storytelling, and when diverse voices are given the platform, the world becomes more connected.
About Me
I’ve spent years in journalism, including as a picture editor for one of the largest newspapers, and hold a degree in the field. After losing my job, I decided to follow my passion and launch Oedipa Agency. This has been my dream for years — creating a platform that empowers others and makes the world a bit better through creativity.
What We Need
To make this vision a reality, we need support to:
• Develop and host online courses
• Build a photo archive and distribution system
• Hire mentors and a video team for course production
• Running advertising campaigns to attract and support participants
Your donation will help provide education, mentorship, and opportunities for talented photographers to succeed globally. Together, we can help them share their stories and make a difference.
Thank you for your support!
