Magazine
London Independent Photography Magazine aims to present contemporary work by independent emerging and established fine art photographers. Our approach is guided by a wish to explore the motivations and philosophies behind the visual through a combination of text and images. In this way we hope to inform and inspire our readers with different concepts, approaches and ideas within photographic practice.
We welcome series of photographs and articles from members and readers and are curious to hear about anything new or interesting in the world of independent photography. Below are guidelines for submitting photographic work (including articles, interviews, book or exhibition reviews). For comments, feedback or recommendations to the magazine, please email us at editors@londonphotography.org.uk
Each issue shall explore a particular theme. This hopes to encourage a diverse reading of certain concepts or topics and helps bring the different work within one issue closer together. The editing process is guided by an attempt to create a ‘choreography’ that guides the reader through the magazine. Decisions made about the submitted work is hence mostly dependent on how different photographic pieces work alongside each other within the particular context of each issue. We are mainly looking for work that has not been printed yet and has an interesting and unusual take on the given theme. Please make sure you send us concise and pre-edited selections of images, preferably grouped as a series or part of a larger project. To avoid a list of personal statements, we encourage substantial pieces of writing, thoughts and ideas about your submitted work or other forms of written pieces accompanying the photographs.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Britt Hatzius

Latest Issue Summer 2008
Editor's Introduction:
Following on from the last two issues on 'portraiture' and 'landscape', 'urban photography' seemed a natural evolvement. The urban environment is, as we realised from the number of submissions, a central theme to a lot of London Independent Photography members, which is maybe not so surprising being a London based network.
The different thoughts and themes that emerge from this eclectic mix of contributions tries to reflect the complex and layered nature of a city like London. The ever-changing atmospheres and practices are visually captured, framing momentary fragments, movements, spaces, communities and touching upon issues that we are confronted with in everyday life.
It hopes to give an impression of the many aspects of urban living that the medium of photography can communicate: the marks we leave, the traces we follow and the lines we read. Each one of these photographers presents their own way of making sense of this urban jungle of signs and symbols: what the city can tell us about ourselves, about others, about our actions and uses.
Besides upcoming dates of workshops and talks at the back of this issue, we have included a short history of London Independent Photography and a portrait on photographer Paul Hill who was the initial inspiration for LIP's founding members back in 1987.
This 'urban' issue also coincides with a conference/workshop/exhibition Urban Encounters, a collaboration of Goldsmiths University and Photofusion. LIP members are offered a discount to all events and we have invited two of the photographers exhibiting at Photofusion to contribute to this issue. The idea is to encourage networks between LIP and other organisations interested in collaborating on photography related projects.
