1854 Access. Making the most of your Membership.

Welcome to 1854 Access: the ultimate career toolkit for photographers.

We’re making some changes to the way we do things. Every two months, we’ll be selecting a single, unifying theme to run across all of our content, awards and commissions.

Developed in direct response to Members’ feedback, this new approach is designed to maximise your benefits while investigating some of the most important issues of our time.

Then & Now

 It seems fitting to start the year by looking back. Throughout this theme we reflect upon the extraordinary events of 2020, but also further back in history, and consider their impact and meaning to our present day.

Our Then & Now issue considers the past in the context of the present, featuring Sasha Phyars-Burgess, Rafal Milach, Marisol Mendez, Jörg Colberg, Kalpesh Lathigra, Camila Falquez & Deanna Templeton.

In awards, OpenWalls Arles 2021 offers photographers a unique platform for international acclaim. We are seeking images that convey a sense of reflection or the changes that time brings as we ask photographers to response to the theme Then & Now. 

Get inspired

Award-winning journalism, expertly-curated photography and cutting-edge practices: you have unlimited digital access to the leading voice in contemporary photography.

Full Access Memberships purchased before 7 April 2021 will receive the Then & Now issue. Please allow 2-4 weeks for first delivery.
