R&B star Janelle Monae is looking to hire Black women and non-binary photographers and videographers to shoot shows on ‘The Age of Pleasure’ tour.
A new partnership with Wondaland, Live Nation, Black Women Photographers, and Fem The Future is aiming to reach Black women and non-binary photographers and videographers in the world of music.

Two people will be chosen and paid to photograph and record Monae during her tour, which is set to kick-off on September 2 in Portland. The tour will also stop in cities like Philadelphia, Boston, Toronto, Charlotte, Nashville, and Houston before wrapping-up in San Francisco on October 17.
Interested photographers and videographers must be local to one of the participating cities on tour and can apply here. Selected applicants will be notified via email on a rolling basis.
Monae expressed that she is “so excited” about the partnership and encouraged photographers and videographers to apply ASAP.
“We can’t thank you enough for believing in and supporting our mission,” Black Women Photographers told Monae on a social media post. “For too long, Black women and non-binary creatives have been overlooked in the industry. Thank you for using your platform to help change that.”
The Age of Pleasure, Monae’s fourth studio album, dropped this past June and features singles “Float” and “Lipstick Lover.” The record follows 2018’s Dirty Computer.
