1854 Media is launching a new crowdfunding campaign to help elevate the platforms and opportunities they offer the photographic community.

Beyond their mantle as publisher of the oldest photography title in the world, 1854 Media owns a roster of prestigious awards and facilitates visual content commissions for some of the world’s best known brands. Across the board, their mission is simple: give photographers everywhere the tools to get inspired, get seen and get paid.

Recent years have seen exponential success in their efforts. Their Portrait of Britain ™ and Portrait of Humanity ™ awards, which celebrate what makes us human in times of division, have placed the work of hundreds of photographers from their community within the most viewed photographic exhibitions in global history.

They’ve enabled their members to be commissioned by world-renowned brands including Adidas, Panasonic and Visit California. 

Their current Crowdcube campaign is a bid to accelerate all of these initiatives and more — notably their rapidly-growing 1854 Membership programme , which opens up all of their content, awards and commissions for aspiring photographers, who in turn save around 80% of the cost.
