Photography magazine for beginner? |
i want to subscribe to a magazine or two. i want the ones that offer a lot of tecniques and are inspiring. can you recommend some? The type of photography that interests you will be as much a determiner as to the magazine you choose. I suggest going to a large book store, reviewing what is available then making a selection from the ones that you feel offer you the most. I suggest you spend more time reviewing the departments in the magazine and less on the feature story, as the departments will remain consistent throughout a subscription and the features will be hit and miss. Keep in mind, many photography magazines are around to promote products and often are pay-to-play, "infomercials." Once you sort the true articles from the ones that are ads, you will get more and better reliable information. where do you live? PDN is a good one. Try Shutterbug Magazine. Its my favorite. Here is a starting list. Go into you local book store and take a look at the magazines there.

Look around for those publications that appear to give you the most advice, in a format that you can use, at your level of experience. Keep in mind that you will also be looking for information that can ADVANCE your learning. Just because a technique may be currently out of your reach, does not mean that you cannot adapt it to your current situation, or that you may not be able to use it in the near future. Don't be afraid of magazines that offer tips to the experience and professional photographers. I, personally, used to get a LOT from Modern Photography. (I don't even know if it is still published) Even as a beginner, I found articles that covered a range of subjects from basic tutorials on techniques and terms (depth of field, focal lengths, available light, etc) and reviews and techniques on new equipment, films and featured artists. I even found the ads contained a LOT of useful information for an enthusiastic newcomer. |
