Source is a quarterly photography magazine produced in Belfast, Northern Ireland, accessible in print and online. Through news, insightful articles, and reviews of the latest exhibitions and publications from Ireland and the United Kingdom, the magazine publishes developing photographic work and engages with the most current developments in contemporary photography.
Distributed throughout the UK, Ireland, and internationally, Source has been the longest-running photographic review in the United Kingdom since the closure of Creative Camera in 2001. It is comparable to other international photography titles such as Aperture in the United States, Camera Austria, and Katalog in Denmark — publications that treat photography not as a consumer product but as a cultural practice worthy of sustained critical attention.
Published from Belfast — a city whose recent history has given photography a particular urgency and political weight — Source brings a perspective to the medium that is informed by place, shaped by conflict, and committed to the idea that looking carefully at photographs is a form of understanding the world.
