Welcome to the first issue of Backyard, an online photography magazine. Backyard features and showcases the work of photographers who love to explore and capture their neighbourhoods. For the first issue we’ve chosen to keep it really close to home and have selected work based in and around London. Our first issue has been curated by photographer and co-founder of Backyard, Mark Burton, who is a passionate supporter of local and community-based photography projects. Issue One features fantastic work from Jonathan Goldberg, Katherine Green, George Plemper, David Solomons, Paul Tucker and Graeme Webb. Backyard will focus on projects close to a photographer’s heart and home. We’ll be looking at photography with an international flavour, but by the photographers and artists who live and work there. Next year we’re planning an Australian issue of Backyard and are really excited that artist and photographer Will May has already agreed to curate an American issue.
