Photography websites are a great place to hone your craft and derive inspiration. But when was the last time you looked at photography that wasn’t on your computer? That’s where photography magazines come in handy. There is just something inherently different about seeing photography in print rather than on your computer monitor. I used to subscribe to just about every photography magazine I could get my hands on (my wife made me give up a few because it really did get out of hand). Here are some great magazines that will inspire and inform, go subscribe today!
For inspiration
Recently I got a copy of JPG magazine and was thrilled to flip through the pages. There are truly some wonderful photographers out there just itching to be exposed. If you aren’t familiar with JPG magazine here’s how it works. The website is made possible in large by a huge community effort. You login, create a profile, and upload your best images. The publication comes out every two months so there is ample time to participate in the magazine. You can submit images to the themes which, of course, change for every print publication, or you can submit an article for the magazine. Here’s the best part, you also get to vote on what will be included in the next issue for the magazine! The editors do get final say, which ensures quality control and prevents spam voting. 6 issues/12 months. Here’s where you can subscribe to JPG magazine
