What is Life Force magazine?
Life Force magazine is a free, monthly, online, photo-led magazine which celebrates the art-form of the photo-essay.
Our photo-essays are about great photography and pushing the boundaries of the medium to explore conciousness
and human perception, by harnessing the unique power that photography holds to capture a moment for analysis.
Our vision for Life Force magazine is that it should use photo-essays to entertain and enlighten whilst at the same
time never missing an opportunity to speak out for those in need or without a voice.
We don’t believe in voyeurism or in the exploitation of those less fortunate than ourselves. We have realised that the
only reason the photo-essays in Life Force magazine are proving popular is because they capture life by observing
and recording fleeting moments of human energy that are about hope, strength and optimism, despite perhaps
adversity. It therefore seems appropriate that Life Force magazine should be used to empower those that figure in
our photography. This is our long-term objective.
Life Force magazine is dedicated to
Paul Bird 1923 - 1993
Paul Bird (father of Life Force magazine Editor Damian
Bird) served with the British Navy from 1943 to 1945 during
World War II and saw active service in Burma and the
Pacific. He was a war artist and two of his paintings
(commissioned by the Royal Navy during WWII) remain in
the Imperial War Museum in London to this day.
Bird was the Vice Principal of the Central School of Art and
Design, London, for twenty years during the 60s, 70s and
80s and his teaching is considered to have been influencial.
“Whilst embarking on my BA (Hons) degree in Photography
in 1991, my Father became my most influencial teacher
until his death in 1993. I learnt more from him about
photography than from any one else.” Damian Bird.
