Analog Photo magazine?

Steve Mack · May 5, 2009

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, but here goes anyway. Are there any magazines published regularly which deal with film? I just got my issue of Shutterbug and it's all digital. I dropped Popular Photography 6 years ago for the same reason. I would dearly love to read some articles on film, in a magazine, more than once a quarter. Or is this a hopeless quest?

Thanks to all who reply.

With best regards to all.

It's not paper but give CiM a try.

Lenswork ditto. I've tried to read CiM but everytime I have the same outlook. This last month it touts the writer discussing push processing film, all he writes about is a short summary on what films he was used and that he "pushed" them to 3200, 6400 etc.,,,

Try Lenswork....

BTW, Lenswork is offering some awsome deals on past copies. Infact looking at the images in lenswork gave me the desire and vision to refine my art. It is also when I realized the to get there, I needed medium and large fomat.

First, I'm not hurt. But I need SOMEONE ELSE to tell me. How can I improve CiM?

Lenswork is an excellent publication, and I have subscribed for many years.

However, the work chosen by the editors (Brooks & Maureen) is done so regardless of technique; digital or film. Their interest is in the images, and rightly so.

Much of what they have published over the recent years has been digital capture. I happen to be 100% film and silver gelatin, my preferred technique, but still enjoy each edition of Lenswork.

As the mass media caters to the masses, digital is covered to the exclusion of film, as we have all seen. They dont just want to survive, they want to PROSPER. I doubt you will be able to find any 100% film mags these days, as the market is small and fragmented. Sort of like my hard drive. But, I digress...

Pretty much everything today is biased toward digital crap.
Photo techniques was the last traditional mag I bought and I haven't bought a copy of that for at least four years. View Camera still has some traditional articles by the publisher is gong the D way too.
Silvershotz I haven't sat down & read but I think it's on the order of Lenswork, concerned with the art moreso than reviews & technical articles.

I've become frustrated with realistic expectations of finding consistent and worthwhile non-digital publications...frankly there just aren't any. LensWork offers exceptionally well made reproductions of traditional and digital imagery as Merg observed; B&W Magazine offers much less well rendered mixtures of the same; Black and White (UK) offers articles and portfolios, but, again, they're a mix of techniques; PhotoTechniques also offers traditional articles, but more often than not favors the digital arena; View Camera is as commented on above by John Koehrer; SilveShotz (sp?) is also a mix, although they prominently featured our own Domenico Foschi (sp?) and may proffer a pugger's portfolio once again if it merits publication. So, it seems best to look for nourishment on-line here and in sites like Luninous Lint etc for on screen renderings, and buy all the monographs you can afford from e-sources, or bookstores like the Strand in NYC which is simply awash in wonderful photography books. Good luck!
