Parallax Photo Journal

Parallax Photo Journal Parallax Photo Journal is a platform for socially-engaged documentary photography from Southeast Asia What about you? If so, welcome! We have things in common.

About Parallax: https://www.parallax.asia/news/2023/3/what-is-parallax-photo-journal

Here at Parallax Photo Journal we aim to embrace the complexity of documentary. Across Southeast Asia, photographers, artists, documentarians, writers, critics, curators and organisations are consistently uncovering a wealth of photographic practice, both deeply embedded in their own locale, and in dialogue with

others across the region and beyond. Our aim at Parallax Photo Journal is to exist as a node within that network, elevating local perspectives, narratives and voices with a focus on documentary based work from Southeast Asia and surrounds, made by practitioners both from and residing in the region. Beyond platforming photographic work, we have the opportunity to foster a regional community, sharing ideas, expertise, resources and education. There are many people and organisations already actively engaged in this community, and we aim to work alongside and support those initiatives, embracing and putting into practice the concepts of allyship and mutual aid. Why โ€œParallax?โ€

Parallax is the perceived position of a subject relative to the observerโ€™s point of view. How we see things depends on our background, culture, society and other lived experiences. A parallax error can occur when our experiences are misaligned or misunderstood. In acknowledging this, Parallax recognises that a more holistic approach involves a dialogue between the viewer and the viewed. We aim to present a diversity of points of view on the Southeast Asian region, while grounding these in our shared reality. If you are here, it is probably because you have an interest in photography, or Southeast Asia, or both. If you are a photographer, we encourage you to submit to our ongoing open call. If your craft is with words, please feel free to get in touch. We have a blog, a newsletter and a podcast-in-the-making, and are always looking for voices and conversation. If you are of a curious mind, please consider becoming a member and supporting the photographers whose work we publish. If you are an organisation, weโ€™d love to hear from you and support the work you are doing, and explore opportunities for collaborations. Become a member here: https://www.parallax.asia/join
