BJP iPad app moves photography beyond print

BJP iPhone app gets it right

British Journal of Photography, the world’s oldest photography magazine, has launched an iPad app, which takes full advantage of the tablet’s backlit display to show off reams of photographic images in a format that is as (if not more) alluring than print.

Viewing a large amount of content through a limited window can be frustrating and disorienting. That’s why we like the British Journal of Photography iPhone app that was released today. The app delivers bitesized chunks of their content that are straightforward and easy to parse in an iPhone-specific format.

Collaborative Partnerships

“ British Journal of Photography’s heritage, credibility in the photography world and passion for innovation made them the ideal partners for our forthcoming initiative ‘Portrait of Britain’. We look forward to seeing the project come to life across our national digital network and in the magazine.”

Janet Guest, Editorial Director, JCDecaux

“ When Positive View Foundation wanted to cement its position as a credible philanthropic organisation within the photography community, we focused all of our attention on securing British Journal of Photography as our exclusive media partner. With the relationship now entering its third year, we believe that the association with BJP has helped us to achieve our goals and we are looking forward to working together again in 2016, unquestionably our most exciting year yet.”

Andrew Page, Chief Executive, Positive View Foundation

“ We have tried many media channels but in terms of reaching a cross-section of serious art and commercial photographers British Journal of Photography is the only publication that is taken seriously by professionals, artists, semi-pros and prosumers.

When we undertake commercial partnerships or run advertising, our message is taken seriously and that feeds back to brand recognition, positive perception in the market and ultimately ROI. By association with BJP, our brand appeal increases both for the photographers who have ‘made it’ and the larger, aspirational student, semi-pro and prosumer market.”

“ British Journal of Photography is a leading voice in the photographic dialogue, debates and trends. It is a vital resource to the professional community, as both a news source and an informer of photographic culture.

The quality of content is always reliable and inspiring.”

Emily Graham, Cultural & Education Manager, Magnum Photos

Stuart Waplington, Managing Director, theprintspace

“ British Journal of Photography is in a unique position in the creative and photography world. It is an important and respected media platform and related organisations and global institutions want to collaborate and partner with us.”

Marc Hartog, Founder & CEO, Apptitude Media

“Magazines and artists’ books are having a 21st-century renaissance and in this crazily fast paced digital world I’m happy about it.

But the BJP, in my mind, has always stood out on the shelf – the fact that it is a journal established 161 years ago seems extraordinary, it’s old school. What’s not to like!”

Charlie Gray, Photographer

2016 will see a landmark event in the 161-year history of the British Journal of Photography: the launch of our online archive The culmination of several years’ work cataloguing, scanning and digitally processing, the archive will see over 200,000 pages of the magazine, dating back over the century and encompassing the entire history of photography, made available for users to browse, search and explore The archive will be made available via a dedicated website, with a number of access packages running through the decades Sponsorship opportunities are available on a quarterly, bi-monthly or annual basis
