Career Opportunity for 20 Photographers

cosmopolitalians.eu-logo-tmbPearson is the world’s leading learning company, with 40,000 employees in more than 70 countries around the world. Whether it’s through new digital learning products in the US, developing qualifications and assessments in the UK, training school leaders in the Middle East, teaching English in China, or educating professionals through content from the Financial Times, they’re helping people make measurable progress in their lives through learning across all life stages.

Photographers around the world are being offered a rare opportunity to have their photography judged by the Rakin, the influential British portrait and fashion photographer and co-founder of Dazed & Confused magazine, as part of collaboration with the world leading, learning company Person and Talenthouse, creative collaboration platform and community of artists across art design, fashion, film, photography and music.

All images should include a human presence but that can be interpreted in many ways and does not need to include a full body shot. Whether it’s a hand reaching out as someone feels their way on a rock climbing adventure pushing their own personal boundaries or a teenager showing their grandparent how to use the internet for the first time, make sure to include a “human” presence in your submissions.

All photographs should use full color and feel optimistic and engaging. Most importantly, they should always put the learner at the center. Photographers can submit up to 10 images.
