The programme brings together photographs of everyday life, music, youth culture and social change. Selected bodies of work are published as Limited Editions and Open Edition Prints.
Purchases support the photographers and archives whose work we publish, and contribute to BCA’s publishing and exhibitions.
Numbered releases
Fixed releases in a stated size, paper and format. Each print is hand-numbered and supplied with a matching certificate of authenticity.
Edition totals and signature details are stated for each release. An original photographer’s signature is included only where specified.
Prints produced to order
Photographic prints without a fixed edition limit, produced to order. Standard Open Edition Prints are unsigned and unnumbered, without a certificate of authenticity.
Available sizes and specifications are shown on each product page.
Once a numbered edition is complete, no further prints are produced in that same size, paper and edition format.
Prints are sold on behalf of the named photographer or estate. Each release identifies the work, paper, size, printing process and edition details.
We use papers from ILFORD, Hahnemühle and Fujifilm. Standard prints are supplied unframed; stated paper sizes include the white border.
Ask about available works, print formats and delivery requirements before ordering.
Ask about a particular photograph, current availability or choosing work for a collection. Include the photographer or title, preferred format and delivery destination.
For workplaces, hospitality or shared spaces, send a brief outline with your preferred subjects, sizes, quantities, budget and required date.
Alternative sizes for Open Edition Prints can be discussed. Availability and pricing are confirmed individually; Limited Editions retain their published specifications.
