1000 Words is a leading online contemporary photography magazine that commissions and publishes exhibition and photobook reviews, essays, and interviews in response to the visual culture of our present moment. Founded in 2008 by Tim Clark, who serves as its Editor-in-Chief, the magazine operates out of London with a global perspective.

Over the years, 1000 Words has built a substantial archive of knowledge from culturally diverse worlds of photography and is considered an invaluable resource for artists, educators, researchers, historians, critics, and curators. It supports and provides a platform for an esteemed roster of contributors, having showcased and published both established names as well as new writers and artists at critical stages in their careers.

In 2018, to celebrate its 10th anniversary, 1000 Words published a special print edition titled "1000 Words 10 Years," designed by respected photography and art specialist Sarah Boris and featuring newly commissioned content.

Recognized for its contribution to the study, appreciation, and critique of the complex and changing ways photography shapes our understanding of the world, 1000 Words was described by Gerry Badger in "Another Country: British Documentary Photography Since 1945" (Thames & Hudson, 2022) as "a successor to Creative Camera" and noted as "standing out for the quality of its writing" in the Guardian.

With its long-standing commitment to quality and insightful content, 1000 Words remains an essential resource for photographers, collectors, and enthusiasts seeking to stay informed about the evolving landscape of fine art photography.
