Panos Pictures Looking for Photographers in Africa
By a Correspondent

Applicants should demonstrate an ability to identify and produce stories with a strong journalistic approach and compelling visual narratives.

We encourage photographers with multimedia skills to apply. Emphasis will be placed upon originality of ideas and the ability to think outside the confines of traditional photojournalism.

We are particularly interested in applications from photographers in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
