Where do you read about photography? (alien.top)
 

Hey there!

I'm looking for more places to read about photographers and their work. I'm interested in thoughtful writing about well-known or up-and-coming photographers. This could be interviews, discussions or essays, and it could be by the photographers themselves or by someone else.

I already enjoy American Suburb X and Nowhere Diary, and I'm looking for more in this vein.

I'd appreciate any links or suggestions :-)

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing Tim. I like that you include your book reviews too, it gives an extra sense of the subject matter you're bringing to your photography.

I tried Substack once but didn't feel like what I was writing suited it. I'll give it another look though. Opened a tab with your page!

As a DIY printer myself, I can relate to this!

That's lovely, sounds like a great way to connect with people.

Writing as support for a series of photos, rather than describing individual photos, is closer to my own practice too.

Hi!

I’m curious about how many of you photographers write about your photos. I’ve got a specific reason for asking this.

Over the last few years my taste in what I photograph has changed quite a bit. I couldn’t find a thread through the images for quite a while, until I pulled a few out from a couple-month span and wrote about them. It was super useful for me, helping me realize what I was getting drawn to, and that in turn helped me focus my work going forward.

I’m curious if any of you write about your work too. Please tell me about it!

And please drop a link to the writing below if it’s public. I’d be down to give it a look.

Cheers!
