Philosophy of Photography ( POP ) is an international peer-reviewed journal published six monthly in the spring and autumn. The journal's aim is to provide a forum for theoretical and critical debate of issues arising from the historical, political, cultural, scientific and critical matrix of ideas, practices and techniques that constitute photography as a multifaceted and changing form. In a contemporary context characterised by its diversity and rapid rate of transformation, the conjunction of 'philosophy' and 'photography' in the journal's title is intended to provoke reflection on the ways in which existing and emergent discourses might engage with each other to inform our understanding of the photographic.
