From around the UK, Europe and India we collate and share relevant, current and modern documentary photography. 

Here at the CBDP we believe in using the camera for positive change and we support the photographers & journalists who work towards this.


Documentary photography has developed into a powerful tool, recognised around the world for it's strength in creating change & informing the public. Add to this quality written text & you have a vehicle for change.

This isn't easy work, & few have the stomach for it & as Raymond Depardon said, "good pictures don't happen by accident", it takes more than a Leica & comfortable shoes.
