Welcome

Access to information that can help development shouldn’t be dependent on financial circumstance, or who you know. Paying tens of thousands of pounds to go to university is prohibitive to many people – particularly for a creative subject which people find harder to justify the cost of. Yet without that money, and that access it is hard to know where to even begin to get the right information if you want to learn more about a creative practice, where to go to get the tools and materials to make things, and to find the right places and people to promote work once it’s been complete.

The information is often out there, but internet trawling is intimidating for many people – and you need to know what to enter into the seach engine to get started.

So, this is my attempt to pull some of it together into one place, to be made freely available to whoever wants it.

Aimed at aspiring (or established) photographers, photojournalists, or anyone interested in the so-called “lens based medium”, it’s a collection of suggested reading, funding sources, printers, bookmakers, publishers, and galleries.

Please have a browse and make use of the search function – I really hope you find it useful, and if you do, please spread the word.

I want to acknowledge that the idea for this resource grew in part from something the excellent Lewis Bush had in his own blog (sadly now shut down) - so thank you Lewis.

Submit your suggestions

To make this truly useful I need as many things to list as possible. I therefore need your suggestions of anything that you have found useful in your practice: books, articles, printers, funders. If you don’t see it here but you think it would be useful - please let me know!
