Launched October 2018, OFFLINE JOURNAL is Published and edited by Ffoton co-founder Brian Carroll.
Independent of Ffoton but sharing several common aims, Offline Journal documents the development of contemporary photography in, from and of Wales. However, Offline does it away from the internet and online platforms and, instead, exists only in printed form in a limited edition of 150 copies per issue (issues #001-005) - published April & October each year.
Offline Journal won’t be reprinted. When issues have sold out, they’re gone for good!
SUBSCRIBE
If you’d like to secure two issues of Offline Journal you can subscribe for one year (12 months/2 issues) and receive not one but two special supplements (see below for details of each) plus free postage & packing!
By subscribing, you will not only secure the next two issues and supplements (see below) delivered to your door as soon as they are released, you can avoid any price rise and will be supporting the writing and production of future issues of this fledgling self-published Journal and help maintain an ongoing, independent document of the development of contemporary photography in, from and of Wales.
Offline Journal was created specifically to bring new writing on photography from Wales to the fore, but it’s always a battle in balancing the number of great photographs with associated writing on the available pages of a publication.
Supplementing Offline Journal are Offline Essays - featuring new long-form writing on contemporary photography by professional photographers, photographic artists and writers. Each Offline Essay is no fewer than four pages of A4 and are available exclusively to Offline Journal subscribers for a period of 3 months before being available to purchase by anyone. And just as the Offline Journal is a limited print run, each Offline Essay is also a limited edition in print.
So once they’ve gone - they’ve gone!
Offline Journal teams up with photographers and indie galleries around Wales to create limited edition A2-size Offline Indies posters that accompany selected indie gallery show openings.
One Offline Indies poster is included free to subscribers in each October issue of Offline Journal and any remaining of the 150 print run are available to purchase by non-subscribers at show opening events.
These are unique mementos of smaller photography exhibitions that so often appear for a brief time and are then forgotten.
