How to Edit a Photography Portfolio (2026)
How to Edit a Photography Portfolio (2026) Editing a photography portfolio is one of the most difficult parts of photographic practice. Making the work is one thing; deciding what stays, what goes, and what ultimately speaks for you is something else entirely. Over the years, whether preparing work for exhibitions, competitions, funding applications or postgraduate study, I’ve found that editing is often where the real shape of a project begins to emerge. A strong portfolio is rarely about showing everything. It’s about showing enough. One of the most common mistakes photographers make is overloading a portfolio with too many images. The instinct is understandable. We become attached to…

Best Sequencing Apps for Photographers in 2026
Best Sequencing Apps for Photographers in 2026: How I Build Narrative Through Images One thing I’ve learnt over the years is that photographs rarely work alone. A single image can hold power, but place it next to another and everything changes. Meaning shifts, tension builds, memories connect, and sometimes a completely different story begins to emerge. That’s sequencing. I’ve worked as a photography journalist since 1997 and have run The App Whisperer since 2009. Over that time, through interviews, reviews, essays and publishing the work of thousands of photographers, one thing has become clear to me: strong photographic work is often about the spaces between images as much as the…

Best Photography Grants, Bursaries and Funding Opportunities in the UK (2026)
Funding is one of the biggest obstacles for most photographers and always has been. Good ideas often get stuck because they need time, travel, access or simply the space to develop properly all things that cost money. Over the years I’ve watched photographers build extraordinary projects with the help of bursaries and grants, and I’ve also seen how the application process itself can sharpen an idea, even when the funding doesn’t come through. We recently also posted about grants, bursaries and funding opportunities in the US; if you missed that, please look here. The UK still offers strong opportunities for photographers, although the market is competitive and often asks you…

How to Write an Artist Statement for Photography Applications (A Practical Guide for 2026)
I have never met many photographers who enjoy writing artist statements. Most of us would rather make the work, edit the work, print the work, sequence the work – almost anything other than sit down and explain it. There is something quite uncomfortable about trying to put visual thinking into words, especially when the work may have begun from instinct, memory, frustration, curiosity or something much harder to name. But artist statements do matter, particularly if you are applying for an MA, a grant, a residency, an exhibition or any opportunity where someone is meeting the work without you standing beside it. The statement helps the reader understand what they…

Best Apps for Culling Photos in 2026: Save Time, Keep the Best Frames
Culling is one of the least glamorous parts of photography, but it’s also one of the most important. Before editing, before publishing, before printing, comes selection. And if you shoot a lot, whether that’s documentary, portraiture, street, or events, culling can quickly become the most time-consuming part of the process. After nearly two decades working as a photography journalist and editor, and reviewing thousands of images and apps along the way, I’ve become increasingly interested in how photographers are streamlining this stage of their workflow. In 2026, culling apps have become smarter, faster, and, in some cases, remarkably intuitive. AI now plays a much bigger role, helping identify duplicates, closed…
