This issue: ‘Malaise’
Photography magazine Source grew out of Photoworks North, an organisation established in 1992 to promote excellence in photography in Northern Ireland, funded in part by a raffle of donated prints from photographers including Martin Parr, Willie Doherty and Lee Friedlander.
In addition to publishing photography, features on individual photographers and artists and criticism, the journal gives plenty of space over to reviews of shows and new photo-books from Ireland and the UK.
This issue for Spring 2026 features portfolios of work from Thomas Haywood, Christopher Stewart and Mark Walsh. Elsewhere, John Duncan speaks to a photographer that benefitted from the pilot phase of the newly announced Basic Income for the Arts Scheme in Ireland, Josh Allen investigates the dwindling number of staff newspaper photographers still working across Britain and Ireland, while dance photographer Camilla Greenwell reflects on why rehearsals—with all their intimacy and imperfection—remain her favourite moments to capture. Plus, a six-page photographic ‘Haunted House Tour’ of Jeffrey Epstein’s unsettling former residence, following the release of previously unseen images to the public late last year.
From the magCulture Journal:
‘We have a new strapline ‘Thinking through photography’ that says what we want the magazine to do: to examine photography and its histories but also to be outward looking. So we review exhibitions and photobooks but we’re also interested in what’s going on in the world.’ – Editor, Richard West
