LensCulture

LensCulture is a photography network and online magazine about contemporary photography in art, media, politics, commerce and popular cultures worldwide: "a resource to keep up with the latest trends and debates in contemporary photography". In addition to its online magazine and publishing network, LensCulture has hosted international photography portfolio reviews each year in Paris since 2010 in partnership with Paris Photo. LensCulture sponsors international photography awards and grants several times per year, as well as traveling exhibitions of award-winning photography.

Will Coldwell, writing in The Independent in 2013, described LensCulture as one of the ten best photography websites, calling it a "definitive resource for anyone who wants to keep up with the latest trends and debates in contemporary photography". Critic Sean O'Hagan, writing in The Guardian in 2012, listed it among the eight best photography websites or online publications, calling it "one of the most authoritative and wide-ranging sites."

The organization was founded in 2004 by its editor Jim Casper, who moved its editorial offices to Paris from Berkeley in 2005. Its team is based remotely, with locations in Amsterdam, California, and Paris, among other cities.

LensCulture award-winning photographers are exhibited at festivals, universities and arts institutions. The 2014 Exposure Awards exhibition was held at London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. Award-winners and other discoveries have also been screened at photography festivals, such as the Voies Off Festival in Arles in July 2014.
