does pentax or ricoh potentially fund any photographic projects

Posted 24/05/2020 - 17:11 Link
Can't seem to find anything on their websites, does anyone here know if they fund photographers? I've got an interesting photojournalism type project and thought, as I'm using Pentax gear that might be one source of funding. Even it was a lens(es) upgrade. Thanks for any advice & hope you're all healthy and not going stir-crazy!

Have you considered writing to them to ask? We can't really speak for them can we?
In brief they do fund proven photographers through their ambassador scheme. I'd research that for starters. I'd have thought you would already have come across at least one who posts on here quite regularly.

If you just want a loan of a certain lens for a particular project have you considered hiring it from the likes of SRS etc.

Hi Jak,
I've been unable to figure out a contact email for them to get started, or which department.
Thanks for mentioning the ambassador scheme, that's a good starting point (first I'd heard of it).

Probably part of their initiative test!
