“I’m a photographer based in the UK that likes to do social documentary. Much of the work on my blog is street photography with a dashes of public events and some commercial work. Although I have only had a camera for a year and a half my pictures have made it on the Guardian website and newspaper (I’m particularly proud of my riot pictures) and have won a couple of competitions.”

The pictures you are about to see are the result my fascination with people watching. Street photography? Social documentary? Snapshots? Who knows…Moments in time captured by a mere…passer-by !

Tony Edenden Passer-By | Black and White Street Photography

I love photography magazines. I love the how-to tutorials and tips, photo equipment reviews, and definitely the ads…yes, the ads. I love dreaming about purchasing new equipment and figuring out just how much I need to buy the ultimate gear pack. I love reading photographer interviews, but most of all it’s about the photos. I don’t earn enough money to subscribe to all the photography magazines I would like, however, the internet goes a long way in solving this problem.

Today, there are numerous online photography magazines available specializing in a wide range of photography related fields. Listed below, is a short list of five amazing online photography magazine I read on a regular basis. Hope you enjoy!

Think National Geographic without words.

SocialDocumentary.net is a new website that features documentary photography from around the world—images and words that explore the human condition.

F-Stop Magazine

Clean layout, great content.

“F-STOP MAGAZINE is an online photography magazine featuring contemporary photography from established and emerging photographers from around the world. Each issue has a theme or an idea that the unites the photographs to create a dynamic dialogue among the artists”

File

If you ever experience creative block, this site is a sure fire remedy.

“The purpose of FILE is to collect and display photographs that treat subjects in unexpected ways. Alternate takes, odd angles, unconventional observations – these are some of the ways photographs collected in FILE reinterpret traditional genres. We leave the Kodak Moments to the family album, the glossy fashion spreads to Vogue, and the photo finishes to ESPN. Rather than taking the well-trod paths, we veer off to get a different perspective.”

DEEPSLEEP

Simple, straightforward layout. Excellent articles and photos. Love the uncluttered format!

“Deep Sleep is a quarterly online photography magazine founded by and featuring work from a small group of contributors who share the same office space in Shoreditch, East London. Each issue (published in February, May, August and November) will be on a specific theme and guest contributors are also invited to submit a set of images based on that theme.”
