Humanity is only possible thanks to the photographers & journalists involved here at the CBDP, & you, the reader. Thank you.
We are also lucky to have been joined by an internationally acclaimed group of photographers & their work has been published in our magazine, helping to get a wide range of concerned documentary photos into the public domain.
Turning the pages and seeing photographs in magazines is a pleasure.

With contributions from the photographers working with the CBDP we put together a news and culture photography magazine centred around modern examples of documentary story telling with compelling narratives and images. The aim was simple, a classic design with a good mix of themes and in the general ethos of the weekend magazines from the 1990's, but with a modern twist. Equally unique is the fact that this photography magazine is a journey in co-op style publishing - unlike all the other self publishing projects, all of the contributors share in the small profit that is realised. It is hoped that by constantly publishing a cutting edge journal and with your growing support we can eventually reach the supermarkets and newsagents around the globe. This is the grand plan in creating an independent photographer led professional publishing platform.
For issue two and beyond it was decided to broaden the reach and collaborate with other photographers to ensure a wide mix of stories and themes. We will soon publish stories from America and Macedonia as well as several hard stories from South America. The magazine sold globally so it feels like the right thing to do. These stories are important and it is an honour to be able to publish them. The documentary photographers featured here on the CBDP website are also working on their own stories and these will continue to be supported and published.
In March 2023 we published the first issue of Humanity, and we sold out. Thanks to you.
Please support us by sharing our journey and perhaps placing a copy of Humanity in your shopping cart.
Documentary photographers with the Centre for British Documentary Photography and journalists will have the chance to direct their own topics and receive payment for their work. More on this soon as we go through some changes...
The door is also open to photographers from around the world as we recognise the importance of sharing stories and images from regions we simply cannot reach.
These magazines will be limited editions and perfect for students of photography and collectors, as well as picture enthusiasts and those interested in current affairs. We will pay a royalty to the visual storytellers who have their work chosen, with the aim of creating a publishing platform for documentary photography. The format will run photo-stories with text and will be much like the magazines from the past, but with our own modern twist.
Please get in touch to talk about your possible involvement with our printed documentary magazine.
