Voices of Photography is an independent publication dedicated to image culture. Since its inception in 2011, VOP has been exploring the creative concept, culture, history and philosophy behind photography by featuring photography works, interviews with artists, publishers, curators, art organizations and related professionals, and continually promoting imagery reading, critique, and the writing of photography history.
Paying close attention to the development of photography in Asia, VOP places special importance on inter-Asian connections. By combing through image literature and collating writings through collaborative effort with research scholars, VOP has presented rich and varied features and topics in every issue. At the same time, every issue of “SHOUT”, a series specially created to showcase the works and thoughts of emerging artists and presented in diverse formats, is a unique visual notebook of contemporary art. VOP is also working on putting together archives of creative works and manuscripts of artists, publishing them in special artist issues that feature never-seen-before works for the first time. Now engaging in the publication of written work and criticism through VOP BOOKS, VOP is one of the rare few independent publishers in Taiwan that focuses on photography and visual art, earning the Golden Tripod Awards, the highest honor in Taiwan’s publishing industry.
