A PLACE FOR STORIES BEYOND THE FRAME
Photographs. People. Places. Perspectives.
Stories from the street, thoughts on making work, notes from behind the camera and voices worth hearing. Written by Tom Wilkins and invited contributors.

Why I've made space for photographs, stories, ideas and voices beyond the finished books and social media posts.
READ THE FIRST STORY ↗02 / WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE
Encounters, conversations and moments that a photograph alone can't explain.

WRITE FOR THE JOURNAL03 / AN OPEN INVITATION
THE JOURNAL. isn't just for my writing.
I'm interested in thoughtful guest pieces about photography, art, subculture, community, independent publishing and the people and places that shape us.
You don't have to be a professional writer. If you've got an idea or a story worth telling, I'd love to hear about it.
