Pros: An informative photography magazine with excellent articles and numerous photos
Cons: News stand availability limited in some areas

In their first issue of the 21st Century, American Photo truly shines with one of the hottest covers on the news stand. In an almost-tribute issue to photographer Helmut Newton, the magazine chose a wonderful Helmut image of five foot ten and a...

Pros: Beautiful images, great articles on photographers
Cons: Hard to find on the newsstands

I am a subscriber to various magazines, and one day I got a copy of American Photo in my mailbox. I don't recall requesting a copy, but it was sent to me on a trial basis. The cover featured model Heidi Klum, and when I opened up the magazine, I...

Pros: Great articles with lots of advice and tips
Cons: needs more beautiful pictures

American Photo is one of the best magazines for photographers. If you are only interested in seeing beautiful pictures there are better choices; such as Aperture, but if you want technical articles, product reviews, profiles of photographers, and a few...

Pros: Beautiful Photos, Excellent Articles, The Staff Actually know what they are Talking About

Cons: Only published every other month

I have two criticisms for American Photo. First, I wish it was a monthly. Six issues a year is too few. Second, I wish it had more pages in each issue. Fortunately, even though I wish it had more pages, the ad-line is relatively low. This is not a...

Pros: well printed, informative articles
Cons: articles in every issue are not appealing to everybody

Pros: Very little equipment reviews
Cons: Only published.six times a year

I like American Photo because it promotes good fine art photography instead of focusing on the equipment like most photo related magazines.

If you pick up and issue of Popular Photography, Modern Photography or whatever is out there, it...

Pros: The best little self help guide I've found.
Cons: A little costly but worth it

I first read American Photo about six months ago and believe me it's one of the most informative photography magazines on the market. I work for a photography studio and wanted to take up photography as a hobby. One of the photographers turned me on to...
