Call for Proposal for Documentary Photographers

The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) is an international non-profit organization promoting the ideas of liberal democracy, respect for human rights, good governance, economic freedom, and digital transformation.

Europe and South Asia at first glance do not seem to have much in common. Look again though and you will see many shared characteristics. It is our endeavor to make these shared characteristics visible and contribute to a more nuanced understanding of both regions in an effort to highlight both regions’ rich and enriching diversity and heterogeneity, democratic heritage, and decades-long commitment to promoting and interest in protecting the global rule-based order among other things.

These shared characteristics become tangible at national borders. The Regional Office of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) in New Delhi is looking for a documentary photographer, who can capture these characteristics at borders and border crossings in Europe and South Asia.
