British Journal of Photography
Established in 1854, British Journal of Photography is the world’s longest-running photography magazine. Published weekly from 1864, in March 2010 British Journal of Photography re-launched with a sleek new look and an injection of new editorial sections, returning to its original monthly roots. The new design plays to the strengths of print with premium-quality paper and improved reproduction techniques. More primacy is given to photographs as well as in-depth articles, with the focus shifting from news-driven content to the creative impetus of professional photography. Each issue features profiles of emerging talent alongside star names, a picture-led Portfolio section, business analysis and detailed technology reviews.

I-D magazine
i-D has built its reputation on being a consistent source of inspiration in fashion culture. It began as a fanzine dedicated to the street style of punk-era London in 1980, and quickly earned its position at the vanguard of fashion and style, abiding by the premise of originate – don’t imitate. i-D has come a long way since its pre-digital, cut-and-paste days and has developed into a glossy magazine that documents fashion and contemporary culture, and has broken ground defining it too. Constantly reinventing itself, as with our website, i-D continues to encourage creativity, which is why after more than 30 years, its editorial content still manages to surprise and inspire.

why the
wink?
The wink and smile on each front cover – a graphic representation of the
magazine’s logo – have become integral to the i-D identity. Over 300 of the world’s fashion elite, the great and the grounded, have given i-D a cheeky wink, from the likes of Madonna, Tom Ford, Chloë Sevigny, Björk, Tilda Swinton, Drew Barrymore, Lil’ Kim, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss.

who stars in
i-d?
i-D features people in fashion, music, art, clubs, film and every other creative field, and has prided itself on being the first to scout talents such as Wolfgang Tillmans, Nick Knight, Dylan Jones, Juergen Teller, Caryn Franklin and Craig McDean, who all started their careers here. Madonna, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Kanye West, Helmut Lang, Franz Ferdinand, Chloë Sevigny, Raf Simons, Undercover, Veronique Branquinho, Lily Cole, Giles Deacon, Dizzee Rascal, Scarlett Johansson, Rick Owens and Tadanabu Asano are amongst those who appeared first in i-D.

Vogue
The British edition of Vogue is a fashion magazine that has been published since the autumn of 1916. The magazine's current editor stated that, “Vogue’s power is universally acknowledged. It’s the place everybody wants to be if they want to be in the world of fashion" and 85% of the magazine’s readers agree that “Vogue is the Fashion Bible”. The magazine is considered to be one that links fashion to high society and class, teaching its readers how to ‘assume a distinctively chic and modern appearance’. As a branch-off of American Vogue, British Vogue is a magazine whose success is based upon its advertising rather than its sales revenue. In 2007, it ran 2,020 pages of advertising at an average of £16,000 a page. It is deemed to be more commercial than other editions of Vogue. British Vogue is the most profitable British magazine as well as the most profitable edition of Vogue besides the US edition.

Augusta Photo Festival
Photography has become the art of the people, a medium in which nearly all dabble and a few excel. In a city where arts has been the soul of our existence, as exemplified by James Brown, the Augusta Photo Festival can become a part of an ongoing effort to build on the image or our beautiful region and tap the ocean of skills of the people who live here. The festival is a chance to bring the beauty of Augusta to the surface, as well as to import the beauty of the world. The festival gives us a way of speaking beyond words, in the international language of visual arts, and to create a collaborative approach to developing our artistic community. We envision the festival as something that would reach out to make it a cultural event that not only provides images for us to see, but provides images that can help reshape our world.

Web
resources
The Internet
is an invaluable way to immerse oneself in contemporary visual practice.
However it should be noted that trawling through websites and copying and
pasting images and text into workbooks does not, in itself, represent an
in-depth engagement with a particular issue, subject or practitioner.
It is
imperative for you to examine the information you are receiving, think about
whether the site has an agenda, whether you can trust the opinion of the
critic/blogger you are reading and most importantly consider where you stand in
reference to the work presented. Be critical of the information that you are
find; always question, explore and analyse.
The
descriptions of the sites are copied and pasted from homepages - take them with
a pinch of salt especially if they appear too self congratulatory.
This list is
by no means meant to be exhaustive but may prove useful as a starting point.
Also, please remember that there’s an immense amount of crossover between
different genres of lens based media so don’t preclude the possibility that a
site may have information relevant to your practice.
