Aperture magazine is a photography journal published by Aperture Foundation. This nonprofit arts institution was founded in 1952 by renowned photographers such as Ansel Adams, Minor White, Barbara Morgan, Dorothea Lange, Nancy Newhall, Beaumont Newhall, Ernest Louie, Melton Ferris, and Dody Warren. The publication focuses on sharing inspiring works and ideas, rather than tips and tutorials, often reading more like a photography book than a traditional magazine. While the initial purpose of Aperture was to build a community with a shared passion about fine art photography, nowadays the magazine covers a broad range of topics and types of photography.
Outdoor Photography

As you might have guessed by its name, Outdoor Photography focuses on nature, wildlife, adventure, and landscape photography. The publication offers tips for semi-professional photographers in these fields, as well as inspiring contributions from photographers all over the world. This photography magazine is well-known for providing detailed explanations and tests of different techniques and types of camera lenses. However, readers also highlight Outdoor Photography’s in-depth articles on trending topics such as using photography to raise awareness for pressing environmental issues.
Shutter
Format: Print and digital

Staying true to its tagline “by photographers, for photographers,” Shutter magazine focuses on the business side of the photography industry.
