RAVI GHOSH

I am a writer and critic based in London. My work—on photography, pop music, British politics and visual art—has appeared in The Guardian, The Economist, Tribune, i-D, Verso, Bandcamp, the LA Review of Books and many more. I also write essays for photobooks and other non-journalistic arts publications.

I am the deputy editor at the British Journal of Photography, where I write and commission stories on all aspects of contemporary photography, from theory to the medium’s ‘art world’ ascendency. I used to work for Elephant magazine and the FT’s Life & Arts supplement.
