The idea for Positive Focus came from their shared passion for storytelling and their belief in the transformative power of photography. Recognising a gap between emerging photographers seeking opportunities and charities needing impactful visuals to amplify their missions, Paul and Kate created Positive Focus to bridge this connection.
Paulā€™s expertise in mentoring photographers through his roles with the Master Photographers Association and Kateā€™s flair for design and visual storytelling bring together a unique blend of creativity and professionalism. Together, theyā€™ve built Positive Focus to inspire collaboration, storytelling, and positive impact.
Join us on this journey to reframe the relationship between photography and charity work. With Innovate UKā€™s support and the dedication of photographers like you, weā€™re making a differenceā€”one image at a time.
The importance of thisĀ project has been recognised by Innovate UK, who are backing Positive Focus as a transformative project for the creative sector. This support enables the development of expert-led training, the building of a vibrant photographer-charity community, and a platform that empowers photographers to grow their skills while making a real difference for UK charities.
