The Winter issue of Source is about new photography organisations. Despite the economic downturn and the dominance of digital technology the last five years has seen the appearance of new galleries, publications and festivals dedicated to the medium.
Jennifer Good has spoken to the people behind five new photo galleries: Third Floor Gallery, White Cloth Gallery, Fishbar, Hotshoe Gallery (which has since closed) and Brancolini Grimaldi.

My browser always opens on an old page on the Source website, the one which has the text above about new photography gallery spaces. I decided to look how they were doing, and hats off to the people who took the mad decision to open them but disappointingly, (inevitably?), all of them had closed in a year or two, apart from Fishbar, which last put on a show seven months ago, albeit in a borrowed space. Of the five the only one I visited was the Brancolini Grimaldi, twice, I think, including to the Joachim Brohm show in the link.
Third Floor Gallery was an independent charitable photography gallery in Cardiff Bay, Wales that operated from 2010 to 2016
