We’ve also decided to collate – and expand – the UK graduate shows from last week’s newsletter into an online list, featuring some of the exhibiting students’ photographs. Keep reading for project snippets from Kaiying Qian (Glasgow School of Art), Ryan Gallagher (Ulster University), Iain Cridland (Robert Gordon University) and many more deserving emerging photographers. A big thank you to everyone who came to Four Corners last Thursday for the launch of Mike Abrahams’ [This Was Then]( published by our friends at Bluecoat Press. It’s a truly remarkable document of three decades of British life, including photographs from The Battle of Lewisham and Troubles-era Belfast which are still thick with tension. Next up, we look ahead to Les Rencontres d’Arles and will be publishing some UK General Election photo stories from the likes of Tom Oldham. Lastly, we’ll be on the ground at Fotofestiwal Łódź this week, so come say hello and enjoy the display of Portrait of Humanity Vol. 6 on Friday night, the debut presentation following the unveiling on 13 June. Revealing our Ones to Watch 2024 British Journal of Photography is delighted to announce the 2024 Ones to Watch issue, featuring 15 international artists who epitomise the talent and creativity within lens-based practice today.
