This edition of British Journal of Photography spotlights the artists, stories, and moments that reveal the intimacy and complexity of portraiture. Meet the winners of Portrait of Humanity: Camille Gharbi, Seif Kousmate, and Andrés Mario de Varona, whose series delve into themes of vulnerability, connection, and the intricate dynamics between artist and subject. Explore Daniel Mebarek’s Foto Gratis studio in Bolivia, Jet Swan’s reimagining of imperfection, and Amak Mahmoodian’s reflections on Iranian identity, alongside Akram Zaatari’s revival of Studio Shehrazade’s archives in Lebanon. The Agenda is packed with global exhibitions, from the Chennai Photo Biennale to Photo Phnom Penh, while Projects explore personal narratives and conflict zones, from Iraq’s marshes to Ukraine’s realities. The Intelligence section celebrates trailblazers like Paul Lowe and fresh voices like Adama Jalloh.

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.
