Title: Any "Family-Safe" photo magazines
Post by: d990640 on July 19, 2004, 01:05:59 PM
Looking for a good photo magazine like "LenWorks" that does not contain
nudity.

Any suggestions?

Popular PHotography or Outdoor PHotographer. Not sure if there is any other. 

I thought I posted in here already.  Wonder what happen to it?

I think Popular Photography is normally safe but they have run some nude shots in the past, I'm almost certain.

Hi Dave.

From your message I can't tell whether your in the UK or elsewhere.  I am based in the UK so can only give you advice on the magazines available here.

I buy a magazine called Digital Camera Magazine (refered to as DCM) which is a a great magazine, out on a monthly basis.  You can buy it in most supermarkets and newsagents, or you can order it online at www.dcmag.co.uk  It's a very family friendly magazine, and caters for all photographic abilities from beginners to more advanced.  It has tutorials dealing with image manipulation as well as camera reviews, equipment reviews and lots of friendly advice and articles.  Readers also send in their own images and have featured sections with member pictures in.  I have actually had several of my images featured in there, including one in the "hotshots" section, for which the winner gets a prize.

There are other magazines out, but there's not really much point in me going on about them if you're not based in the UK.  If you need any more information, please let me know, and I'll do what I can to help.

Thanks Annie for your review of the magazine.  I never buy photography magazines because of the stuff that gets put in there, but I will keep an eye open the digital camera magazine you wrote about.

Anthony.

There is also another magazine that I sometimes buy, depending on what articles it features.  This month is has a 22 page feature on Action Photography.. so I bought it.  It gives great tips and advice on what settings to use for acheiving a certain effect.  This one is called Practical Photography and again is widely available. 

You can spend a fortune on magazines! so I scour the magazine first to see what is going to be of use to me before I buy.  I'm probably the person shops and supermarkets hate, because I'm the one leafing through the magazines to see what's there LOL

Annie, I went to look at magazines today and bought one.  Then when I got home, I don't think it's the one you were speaking of above.

I got:  Digital Photography Techniques and there was a free CD with it.  It was slightly costly but I sure think it's full of fantastic technical information.

Annie, is this one also a British magazine?

Well, I did a search and found a good website for this magazine...  It's highly recommended too.

Yes pat, I think digital photography techniques is a British magazine.. I've had that one before.  It's quite a good one, but my fave would have to be DCM.
