Commonplace Submission Guidelines

Commonplace is a collaborative photography magazine from UHM! Publishing and the modernist that brings together a curated collection of images that celebrate the architectural identity of places we might otherwise overlook. This isn’t about grand monuments or obvious landmarks. It’s about the beauty found in the structures that shape our daily lives - the housing estates, brutalist car parks, post-war civic centres and concrete town squares that define Britain and Ireland’s modernist heritage.

Published six times a year, Commonplace is a 32-page A5 magazine with an ambition to bring together diverse photographic content united by a shared fascination with uncelebrated modernist spaces. 

If you are a photographer and would like your work to feature in Commonplace, get in touch. We accept colour and black + white images, these can be contemporary or from past collections or archives.
