Lens for Change is a photography collective that uses visual storytelling as a powerful tool for awareness, advocacy, and action on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We believe a single image can educate, inspire emotion, and mobilize communities. We train members to be not just photographers, but visual journalists, documentarians, and advocates for a sustainable future.We capture more than moments—we capture context, challenges, and solutions. Our camera lenses are focused on telling the stories that matter for people and the planet.
