The Australian Centre for Photography (ACP) was a not-for-profit photography gallery in Darlinghurst, Sydney, Australia that was established in 1973 and which also provided part-time courses and community programs.

''Photofile''
Tamara Winikoff, director of ACP (1982–1985) began publication of Photofile, a small community newspaper in 1983 which became a significant journal showcasing Australian photography in a glossy, large format (44cm) and hosting the critiques and debates surrounding it.{{Citation | author1=Australian Centre for Photography | title=Photofile | date=1983 | publisher=Australian Centre for Photography | issn=0811-0859}} It was issued 3 times yearly from 1991.{{Cite web|title=Photofile: Periodical 1983–2020 |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/21489893/version/25745711%2044586321%2044970542?keyword=Photofile|access-date=2021-01-19|website=National Library of Australia}}
Editors included Mark Hinderaker, Mark Johnson, Ingeborg Tyssen & Tamara Winnikoff (with Robert Tuckwell for one issue) (1983); Mark Johnson (1984–85); Geoffrey Batchen (1985–86); Catherine Chinnery (1987); Catherine Chinnery & Carole Hampshire (1987/88); Ross Gibson (Guest Editor, 1988); Helen Grace (Guest Editor, 1988); Adrian Martin (Guest Editor, 1988); Robert Nery (1988–89); Elizabeth Gertsakis (Guest Editor, 1989); Fiona Macdonald (1990); Martin Thomas (1991–93); Jo Holder (1993–94); George Alexander (1995–97); Jacqueline Millner & Annemarie Jonson (Guest Editors, 1996); Bruce James (1997–99); Blair French (Managing Editor 1998–9);{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/222498963|title=Photo files : an Australian photography reader|date=1999|publisher=Power Publications and Australian Centre for Photography|others=French, Blair., Australian Centre for Photography.|isbn=1-86487-053-2|location=Sydney|oclc=222498963}}{{Citation | author1=French, Blair | author2=Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia | title=Out of time : essays between photography & art | date=2006 | publisher=Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia | isbn=978-0-9750239-4-5}} Francisco Fisher (Guest Editor 2000).{{Citation | author1=Fisher, Francisco | author2=Donohue, Robyn | author3=Australian Centre for Photography | author4=Photo Technica | title=Photo Technica Awards : new Australian photo-artists 1999 | date=1999 | publisher=The Centre | url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/6874097 | access-date=17 January 2022}}
Without capital to increase circulation to attract more advertising for its funding, its survival in the 1990s was threatened. Alasdair Foster as director (1998–2011) secured increased financial support, enabling its print run to be increased and for the first time the magazine was distributed nation-wide through newsagents.
From 2010 Photofile was issued as a digital-only publication until Kon Gouriotis began as Director in early 2012 and a print version was relaunched in March 2013. The journal was again relaunched in 2017 under the new editorship of Daniel Boetker-Smith.{{cite web|title=Photofile Magazine Relaunch|url=https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/program/photofile-magazine-relaunch/|access-date=2018-06-19|website=National Gallery of Victoria}}
An anthology of essays from Photofile was published in 1999 as Photo files: an Australian photography reader edited by Blair French, with a preface by Gael Newton, then Senior Curator of Photography at the Australian National Gallery.
History
On 23 April 1970, leading Australian photographer, David Moore wrote a letter to Wesley Stacey, Grant Mudford and David Beal.{{Cite web|last=Meagher|first=Toby|date=June 2013|title=Developing Photography: A History of the Australian Centre for Photography 1973–2013.

To examine the situation of photography in Australia he led a committee of other practising photographers Wesley Stacey,{{cite web|last1=Australia|first1=National Gallery of|title=The Spread of Time: The photography of David Moore|url=https://nga.gov.au/moore/|access-date=2018-06-19|website=National Gallery of Australia|archive-date=11 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170311042758/http://nga.gov.au/moore/|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title=David Moore, National Portrait Gallery|url=https://www.portrait.gov.au/people/david-moore-1927|access-date=2018-06-19|website=National Portrait Gallery (Australia)}} Laurence Le Guay, senior curator of the Art Gallery of NSW and Sydney Morning Herald art critic Daniel Thomas, and the director of an architectural and planning firm, Peter Keys, with support from arts commentator Craig McGregor.{{cite web|title=Revealing the humanity within|url=https://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/01/31/1043804525980.html|access-date=2018-06-19|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=February 2003 }} In July 1973, the Visual Arts Board accepted that there was a need for such a body in Australia and part-funded their proposal to set up a permanent photographic gallery in Sydney."New body will promote photography as art form", The Sydney Morning Herald, Tue, Sep 25, 1973 p.12

== Paddington Street ==
Margaret Whitlam opened the first ACP gallery in a corner terrace refurbished by architect Michael Standley at 76a Paddington Street, Sydney, on 21 November 1974 with the initial exhibition Aspects of Australian Photography{{cite book |title=Aspects of Australian Photography |author=Howe, G. |publisher= The Australian Centre for Photography |location=Sydney |year=1974 |pages=71 |isbn=978-0-909339-02-9}} under inaugural director Graham Howe. That exhibition, expanded with ten more photographers' work to comprise Godwin Bradbeer, Warren Breninger, John Cato, Ian Dodd, Max Dupain, Rennie Ellis, Richard Harris, David Moore, Grant Mudford, Jon Rhodes, Roger Scott, Wesley Stacey, John Walsh and Richard Woldendorp, but with Max Pam who was in the original line-up, being excluded, as noted by Palmer, due to perceived sensitivities about his explicit imagery made in SE Asia, toured to Australian embassies and high commissions in Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Burma, India, Sri Lanka and South Africa (given the end of apartheid) in 1975 and 1976, supported by the Department of Foreign Affairs.{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1262773212 |title=Installation view : photography exhibitions in Australia (1848–2020) |date=2021 |others=Daniel Palmer, Martyn Jolly, Printed by Wilco Art Books |isbn=978-1-922545-00-8 |edition=First edition of 1000 |location=Melbourne, Australia |oclc=1262773212}} Women photographers were not included the initial exhibition of Aspects, nor its touring version, despite the added participants, prompting Deborah Ely, a later director of ACP to comment;
It is a characteristic of the early years of the ACP that its governing culture was exceptionally male ... "debate" between the founding fathers of ACP and feminists grew up over the years and persisted into the 1980s.
== Oxford Street ==
The organisation subsequently changed the location of its gallery and offices several times. Christine Godden as director oversaw the moving of the Centre in 1981 to Dobell House at 257 Oxford Street, Paddington but in 1989, subsequent director Denise Robertson, previously of Melbourne University Union's George Paton Gallery, finding the Centre suffering from a deficit and a declining public profile, foreshadowed another relocation due to Paddington becoming "too expensive".Michael Visontay, "In a bind over new premises", The Sydney Morning Herald, Thursday 14 Dec 1989, p.113 It shared space with the Sydney Dance Company theatre at Pier 4/5 refurbished at a cost of $16 million to create a venue "second only to the Sydney Opera House", as announced by the Ministry for the Arts in May 1991.Geraldine O'Brien, "Bustling pier to be loaded with more culture, The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday 08 May 1991, p.3
Director Deborah Ely resisted, later saying; "when I joined ACP four years ago we were committed to a relocation at Pier 4/5. It seemed a real pity given this fantastic location and the fact that we'd been in Paddington for 20 years. I thought we should stay and make the most of the existing site."{{Cite news |last=Cochrane |first=Peter |date=21 March 1996 |title=Back in Focus |pages=19 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald}} Accordingly, the Oxford Street premises were upgraded after mediation by NSW Ministry for the Arts persuaded the building's vendor the Dobell Foundation, which, with the help of Premier Neville Wran, had purchased the site from the NSW Fire Brigade for $1.5 million, mortgaged it to ACP for $750,000 a 50 рег cent discount, which Ely expected to pay off within 10 years. Its reopening increased the growing number of photography galleries in Sydney with the Byron Mapp Gallery, also in Oxford Street, Stills Gallery in Elizabeth St., the Josef Lebovic Gallery in Paddington Street and, from 15 February 1996, Toast II in Commonwealth Street. Architect James Grose refurbished the ACP by opening the facade up to the street and adding a two-storey extension with a central staircase in a construction by John Lewis and Luigi Rosselli, which integrated galleries, library, darkrooms, studio, digital imaging facilities, specialist bookstall and a restaurant, the latter through an arrangement negotiated protractedly over 1993–1994 variously with entrepreneur Rene Rivkin with caterer Maggi Agostini, then Victoria Alexander and others, to lease the shopfront, with the ACP offices and gallery behind.The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 22 May 1993, p.23The Sydney Morning Herald Saturday, May 07, 1994 p.42The Sydney Morning Herald Tuesday, May 24, 1994, p.28

A temporary closure in September 1993 saw refurbishments begin, with further assistance from the Ministry of $50,000 and also its loan of $300,000. In the interim the gallery opened at 27–31 Abercrombie St., Chippendale (6 km closer to the CBD and now housing Galerie pompom) under the name Temporary Hoarding to continue with a few shows into November 1994,Michael Hutak, "No new cafe in focus", The Sydney Morning Herald Tuesday, May 24, 1994, p.28 including Reflex (12–27 August),Reflex exhibitors were Graeme Hare, Les Walkling, Susan Fereday, David Stephenson and Rozalind Drummond: Listing, The Sydney Morning Herald, Friday 12 Aug 1994, p.63 sustained by curator/publicist Susan Charlton organising brochures and "Sydney Artbus" public tours.Michael Hutak, "Six of the best", The Sydney Morning Herald Wednesday 10 Aug 1994, p.28 It was not until March 1996 that NSW Premier Bob Carr reopened the centre and launched its first show since December 1994, Inheritance,{{Cite news |last=Johnson |first=Anna |date=15 March 1996 |title=Art Beat |pages=12 |work=he Sydney Morning Herald}}{{Cite news |last=Cochrane |first=Peter |date=18 March 1996 |title=Arts |pages=23 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald}} and its café, which was ultimately a joint venture between Stefano Manfredi of Restaurant Manfredi and Barry McDonald (B & J Lizard produce) and named La Mensa.{{Cite news |date=5 January 1996 |title=Cool Café |pages=27 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald}}{{Cite news |last=Greenwood |first=Helen |date=9 January 1996 |title=Short Black: A Taste of Italy |pages=25 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald}}

From 2011, as photography students increasing turned to courses in tertiary institutions for instruction, revenue from the ACP's film-based workshops continued to fall, and in 2015, the centre was forced to sell its building."Australian Centre for Photography closes", ProPhoto, Vol. 77-1, Issue 230, January 2021, p.13 It rented accommodation at 72 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst, Sydney.{{cite news|access-date=2018-06-19|title=Australian Centre for Photography to Leave Paddington|url=https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/art/australian-centre-for-photography-to-leave-paddington/|newspaper=Concrete Playground|date=3 September 2014}}{{cite news|access-date=2018-06-19|title=Australian Centre for Photography Project Space Gallery|url=https://www.timeout.com/sydney/art/australian-centre-for-photography-project-space-gallery|newspaper=Time Out Sydney}}{{cite news|access-date=2018-06-19|title=Australian Centre for Photography nets $5m at auction|url=https://www.afr.com/real-estate/commercial/australian-centre-for-photography-nets-5m-at-auction-20141013-11bwx0|newspaper=The Australian Financial Review|date=14 October 2014}} Its current location is at 21 Foley St, Darlinghurst, a kilometre west along Oxford Street from number 72, and closer to the CBD.

Initiatives
The ACP exhibition program delivered the first major retrospectives of Max Dupain, Olive Cotton and Mervyn Bishop. An early opportunity for photographers initiated by the ACP in 1978 was the Colonial Sugar Refinery Project, a commission for six Australian practitioners, Micky Allan, Sandra Edwards, Mark Johnson, Graham McCarter, Lewis Morley and Jon Rhodes, to freely make artistic and documentary work relating to the CSR site at Pyrmont. After its successful exhibition and publication the project was extended into the 1980s and inspired other art-based, non-commercial collaborations with industry. Signature Works - 25th Anniversary Exhibition, in 1999 included works by Fiona Hall, Bill Henson, Carol Jerrems, Maria Kozic, Tracey Moffatt, Max Pam, Patricia Piccinini, Jon Rhodes, Michael Riley, and Anne Zahalka selected by 25 Australian photographic curators, writers, artists and academics, and was a contemporary survey indicative of the national reach of the centre.
2020 closure
On 19 November 2020 the Australian Centre for Photography, announced it would go into a 'hibernation' from 16 December "due to a cash crunch brought on by COVID-19 lockdown, the shift to smartphone photography and funding cuts.". A restructure of the organisation would protect it from "ongoing financial losses"; ACP Chairman, Michael Blomfield said: "our organisation will not receive any operational funding from federal or state funding bodies for the next three years as a minimum, it is clear that continuing to operate in our current form is a pathway to extinction."{{Cite web |title=Australian Centre for Photography {{!}} ACP HIBERNATION |url=https://acp.org.au/about/acp-hibernation/ |access-date=2020-12-17}} Blomfield, decried the decision as a 'painful one', with 21 staff affected.
Coincident with the closure of the ACP, planning was taking place for a National Centre for Photography, with galleries, library, darkroom, an archive and education
program, to be opened in regional Ballarat, funded with $6.7 million from the Victorian state government. The city is home to the Ballarat International Foto Biennale which has been running since 2005.
Powerhouse Photography
Two years after the Australian Centre for Photography had been mothballed and had laid off staff due to a shortage of funds and COVID restrictions, and after a series of community consultations, in October 2022 it was announced that Sydney's Powerhouse, the major branch of the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences, had acquired the Australian Centre for Photography in an agreement in which Powerhouse acquired ACP's photography archive and fund, worth approximately $1.6 million. New South Wales Minister for the Arts Ben Franklin noted that;
The Powerhouse Photography initiative declares photography’s cultural value at the precise moment we may have forgotten its significance in art and design, through to science, medicine, law, communication and commerce.It operates under the new name of [https://powerhouse.com.au/photography Powerhouse Photography],{{Cite web |title=Powerhouse acquires Australian Centre for Photography - Australian Photography |url=https://www.australianphotography.com/news/powerhouse-acquires-australian-centre-for-photography |access-date=2023-03-31 |website=www.australianphotography.com |language=en}} which on its website notes that it is "supported by funds generously donated by the Australian Centre for Photography", and will continue and expand on ACP programs with commissions, acquisitions, publications, learning and research activities dedicated to the promotion and development of photography in Australia. Funds from the Australian Centre for Photography will provide a photography research fellowship, tertiary internship program, contemporary photography acquisition program, and industry day.{{Cite web |title=Powerhouse Photography |url=https://www.maas.museum/powerhouse-photography/ |access-date=2023-03-31 |website=Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences |language=en-US}}
An Advisory group has been formed, and first convened in October 2022, to oversee Powerhouse Photography and to industry connections, and inform curatorship. It is co-chaired by photographer and University of Technology Sydney Associate Professor, Cherine Fahd and Powerhouse Senior Curator Sarah Rees. The panel comprises photographer, filmmaker and ACP board member Merilyn Fairskye; Friends of ACP member Lisa Moore; photographer Garry Trinh; photographer Hugh Stewart; photographer Meng-Yu Yan; photographer Tom Blachford; Powerhouse Director First Nations Emily McDaniel; Powerhouse Head of Curatorial Jacqui Strecker; and Powerhouse Artistic Associate Zan Wimberley.
The 50th anniversary of ACP occurred in 2024, and Powerhouse had plans to deliver a curated digital program to celebrate it, and through its publishing arm, Powerhouse Publishing, to release a major publication on Australian photography. Powerhouse Chief Executive Lisa Havilah recognised the long-term achievements of the organisation;
For nearly 50 years, ACP has cemented the importance of photography in contemporary culture by championing a diverse range of artists. It’s our privilege to play a part in shaping the future of photographic practice in Australia, building on the exceptional work of ACP, under the expert guidance of the Powerhouse Photography Advisory Group. We thank the ACP’s Board of Directors and Friends of the ACP for entrusting us with this responsibility and opportunity.{{Cite web |title=Powerhouse Photography Announced |url=https://www.maas.museum/media-story/powerhouse-photography-announced/ |access-date=2023-03-31 |website=Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences |language=en-US}}In 2025 Powerhouse announced photography commission recipients of $20,000 each; Guwa-Koa, Gungarri, and Kuku Yalanji photographer Jo-Anne Driessens who had won the First Nations Right of Reply Photography Commission and Tasha Tylee who received the Architectural Commission; each being collaborations with Powerhouse over 12 months to produce major new works.{{Cite web |last=Review |first=Arts |date=2025-03-20 |title=Powerhouse Photography Commission Recipients Announced |url=https://artsreview.com.au/powerhouse-photography-commission-recipients-announced/ |access-date=2025-05-17 |website=Australian Arts Review |language=en-AU}}
