Simon Bainbridge

Editor, British Journal of Photography

While the BJP remains the most authoritative voice in the professional market in the UK, it also has a long tradition of championing new generations of photographers, campaigning for their rights, and reporting new trends.

Simon Bainbridge has been the editor at BJP for seven years, having worked in magazine publishing since 1991. He has been working on the relaunch of the magazine’s website, collaborating on a new photo festival in North America, and preparing for BJP’s annual show for emerging photographers, Vision.

Simon is a frequent guest at international photography festivals, portfolio reviews and contests. He is a regular judge for Amnesty International Media Awards, Sony World Photography Awards, Photolucida’s Critical Mass, Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward and Travel Photographer of the Year, and nominates for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize, Hasselblad Foundation Award, PDN 30 and the Prix Pictet.
