1000 Words
1000 Words pairs cutting edge photos with photographer interviews and book reviews.
In this issue:
Urban Japanese “landscapes with a corpse”
A surprisingly evil collection of snowglobes
Working-class portraits from South Philadelphia
Ahorn
Ahorn Magazine has some weird navigation issues; you have to do a lot of scrolling through each story to get to the pictures.
It’s worth it though: nice big photos, interviews with photographers, and good book reviews.
In this issue:
A photographer goes through his grandfather’s house after his death
Portraits of AIDS patients in Odessa
Blueeyes
The photos in Blueeyes are presented in slideshows. It’s not our favorite viewing choice, but the photos are large and edgy. Also: sneak-peeks of soon-to-be-released books.
In this issue:
Skatopia: 88 acres of skate-park anarchy
Retired steel workers in Titusville, PA
Review of Flight Attendants by Brian Finke
burn
Burn focuses on the work of emerging photographers. Most of the photo essays are presented as slideshows with audio, but we like hitting mute and seeing one photo at a time.
In this issue:
“Postcards” from the English seaside
Heroic portraits of fast-food employees
Deep Sleep
UK-based Deep Sleep has an urban aesthetic. Each issue has a different theme: the first one is “invisible” (“alien” and “dance” are up next).
The site design is a little counter-intuitive; click on Stories to get to the good stuff.
In this issue:
Industrial landscapes in China
Night photos of the banks of the Thames River
Flak Photo
Flak Photo features lots of book reviews, tips about online photography exhibitions and an enormous Photo-of-the-Day.
In this issue:
Review of Sawdust Mountain by Eirik Johnson
New print-based photography magazine Lay Flat
Lens Culture
International photography is the focus of Lens Culture. The magazine also sells limited-edition prints by featured photographers.
In this issue:
Life in the pre-fab environs of suburban Slovakia
Traveling acrobat troupes
A French photographer’s view of Egypt
MakingRoom
MakingRoom pairs interviews with each photographer along with their photo essays. Photos can be viewed as slideshows or one at a time. The magazine also features a few painters and illustrators.
In this issue:
Roadside portraits of stranded motorists
The shantytown community of the Guatemala City Dump
Purpose
French webmag Purpose looks and reads like the pages of a print magazine. There is very little text, and each issue has a broad theme like “memory” or “childhood”.
Two things we don’t like are the soundtrack that we can’t turn off, and using the arrow keys to turn the pages. Still, the photos are good enough to make us put up with it.
In this issue:
Portraits of children and families
Scenes from a little girl’s imaginary world
Childhood photos of four sisters recreated by their adult selves
Vewd
Though we don’t usually like slideshows, we like what Vewd does with them.
The photojournalism site uses multimedia with audio to create a hybrid of photography and documentary filmmaking. We like.
In this issue:
Leprosy patients in Vietnam
An annual Christmas light feud in Charlottesville, VA
Transient hotels in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district
Photo Time Capsule
