This edition considers how technological shifts are disrupting photographic perspectives, from video games to AI, glitch messaging and print warping.
In major profiles of Robert Zhao Renhui, Zed Nelson, Farah Al Qasimi and Jean-Vincent Simonet, our writers consider photography’s unique incompleteness – less a window on the world and more a subjective view through a distancing, opaque frame. Up front, exhibition previews take readers from Nottingham Contemporary to Kyotographie, and we’ve dedicated our Intelligence essays to the SWANA region, spotlighting initiatives in Egypt, Lebanon and reporting on Palestinian photographers.
The cover is an image from Arko Datto’s ‘Kings of a Bereft Land’. Shot in the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna Delta, Datto’s series addresses the climate crisis using infrared film. It’s a reminder of the wider existential threats which inform – but also dwarf – the artistic shifts we explore in this magazine.

About the Magazine
British Journal of Photography is a photography magazine that includes in-depth articles, profiles of photographers, analyses, and technological reviews. The magazine was established in Liverpool as the Liverpool Photographic Journal in 1854, with its first issue appearing on 14 January 1854, making it the United Kingdom’s second-oldest photographic title after the Photographic Journal. It was printed monthly until 1857, when it became the Liverpool and Manchester Photographic Journal, published bi-weekly, then the Photographic Journal from 1859 to 1860, when it obtained its present name. The magazine moved to London in 1864, first to Covent Garden; then in 2007 to Soho; and in 2013 to Shoreditch; then in 2017 to East India Dock. It was published weekly from 1864 to March 2010, then reverted to its original monthly period. It is now also available as an electronic magazine, online, and in iPad and iPhone formats.
