British Journal of Photography Issue 7919

Work issue: It takes up most of our waking hours and yet its seldom depicted Work. This new edition of BJP explores the topic from multiple angles: How do photographers make a living? Which curators are preserving our 20th-century industrial history? And how does medical, agricultural and labour imagery operate in both professional and artistic spheres?

Hear from artists Kadir van Lohuizen, Samar Hazboun and Christina Fernandez in our in-depth artist features, plus learn about maintaining archives of work from the Martin Parr Foundations Isaac Blease, Fondazione MASTs Urs Stahel, and Luciano Zuccaccia, whose Protest in Photobook library exceeds 700 anti-establishment volumes.

As ever, our writers preview this seasons most important institutional shows, including Tate Britains huge survey of 80s photography in Britain, while we also count down to Paris Photo, celebrate 10 years of Loose Joints photobooks, and spend a lazy afternoon with Jenny Matthews in east London.
