- It is easier to make recommendations after you have specified
- what you want in a magazine.
- Shutterbug is primarily advertising - good for people who
- want to stay on top of the used equipment market.
-
- American Photo has lots of examples of good photography.
-
- Professional Photographer is intended for people interested in
- commercial portraiture and wedding photography.
-
- Darkroom and Creative Camera Techniques is devoted to the "how to"
- of photographic imaging for people who are already quite familiar
- with the basics of photography.
-
- Photo District News is directed at keeping photographers abreast of
- what is happening in the business-end of photography.
-
- View Camera is for people interested in large format work.
-
- There are other magazines, of course. My descriptions above are
- (perhaps) unfairly brief. But they will help you get started in
- making your selections.
