Welcome to Photography Network!
A group that fosters discussion, research, and new approaches to the study and practice of photography in its relation to art, culture, society, and history.
Photography Network is launching a two-week writing and publishing seminar to support and promote new voices in photography scholarship, curation, and criticism, to take place online from July 21-August 1, 2025.
Photography Network welcomes submissions for its 2025 annual book prize that honors innovation in photography scholarship, expression, and dissemination. Due June 15th!
Please join us for a book talk with Dr. Kimberly Juanita Brown. In this talk, Brown will discuss her new book Mortevivum, winner of the 2024 Photography Network book prize. Since photography's invention, black life has been presented as fraught, short, agonizingly filled with violence, and indifferent to intervention: living death—mortevivum—in a series of still frames that refuse a complex humanity.
In this presentation, Dr Beatriz Pichel and Dr Katherine Rawling will talk about their project “The Ethics of Medical Photography: Past, Present and Future”, a multidisciplinary network supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK. We will introduce the main questions and aims of the network and reflect on early results and challenges we are starting to see after the organisation of the first network activities.
