Photoworks is a visual arts agency for photography, based in Brighton, England and founded in 1995. It commissions and publishes new photography and writing on photography; produces exhibitions, books, participation and learning projects and events including the Brighton Photo Biennial, the UK's largest photography festival. It organises the Jerwood/Photoworks Awards in collaboration with the Jerwood Charitable Foundation.
It has published photography books by Daniel Meadows, Stephen Gill, Rinko Kawauchi and Joachim Schmid, and published books written or edited by Val Williams.
Photoworks is located within the University of Brighton's Grand Parade Campus and is a registered charity, funded by Arts Council England and one of Arts Council England's National Portfolio Organisations.
Photoworks formed out of the Cross Channel Photographic Mission (CCPM) arts project in St Leonards-on-Sea in 1995. It initially consisted of founding director and curator Ann McNeill and projects manager Liz Kent. In 1997 the organisation moved to Maidstone and then in 2003 to Brighton.
Photoworks Annual is a British magazine which specialises in art photography, published by Photoworks.
The magazine was established in 2003 as Photoworks and was published biannually until 2013 when it became an annual publication and obtained its current name. The magazine is published by Photoworks, a Brighton based organization for contemporary photography. The magazine was edited by Gordon MacDonald until he stood down in 2011.
The magazine is supported by the Arts Council of England.
PhotoWorks is a raytrace rendering program created by Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corporation, formerly supplied as a photorealistic rendering add-in for SolidWorks. The program is based on the Mental Ray rendering engine. It has a library of scenes and materials that can be used with user-created SolidWorks files to create still frame images within the SolidWorks GUI.
Since the 2011 release of SolidWorks, PhotoWorks has been replaced by the PhotoView 360 rendering utility. A 2010 review comparing PhotoWorks with three other rendering programs for SolidWorks (including PhotoView 360) gave the program high marks for render speed and built-in materials, but low marks for realism and user interface.
