French Magazine: Photo

[GavinM]

I've found this kind of hard to find in the UK lately, but you can definitely order it from good newsagents.

Lots and lots of photography in there, some of it very odd, some of it very ordinary and some of it extraordinary.

The current issue has a focus on reader's pictures - no commentary or critique, just lots of them. They also tend to break a lot of new photographers and regularly publish sets from 'the masters'. Gear reviews, articles and news in french take up about 10% of the mag; fine if you speak or want to learn French, no big deal if you don't.

Not to be confused with the American version of the magazine, they couldn't be more different and the content is not the same.

Thank you for this post, Gavin!!

I believe you may have solved something of a long running mystery!!

About 2 years ago I had cause to delve into a paper recycling bin in the next village after some documents I had accidentally thrown out with the news papers...while I was delving around I came across the most beautifully produced magazines on the subject on photography I had ever seen, trouble
was I could never remember the name of the magazine and no longer had my lucky finds in my possession!!

I shall now scour every WHS in the land for a copy
