With a founding date of 1854, BJP is the world’s oldest and longest running photography magazine. But age has not caused it to stagnate—as they say, it's ‘not your usual game of picture karaoke.’ The is BJP's annual ‘Ones to Watch’ issue, spotlighting the diverse photographic approaches of 15 young talents, spanning collage, documentary, performance and sculpture, while dealing with notions of migration, identity, place, and more. On this year's selection, editor Diane Smyth writes:  ‘...many of these Ones to Watch are questioning the medium, whether decolonising picturing people (Imane Djamil) or applying sheer resourcefulness to image-making (Vuyo Mabheka). As such their work suggests fresh perspectives, from a generation growing up surrounded by photographs and more networked than ever before.’ This year's cohort includes Ibrahim Azab, Teva Cosic, Imane Djamil, Sènami Donoumassou, Saad Eltinay, Devashish Gaur, My-Lan Hoang-Thuy, Vuyo Mabheka, Michał Maliński, Karice Mitchell, Hashim Nasr, Bandia Ribeira, Farhana Satu, Rafael Soldi and Varvara Uhlik.
