Pros: An informative photography magazine with excellent articles and numerous photos

Cons: News stand availability limited in some areas

Review: In their first issue of the 21st Century, American Photo truly shines with one of the hottest covers on the news stand. In an almost-tribute issue to photographer Helmut Newton, the magazine chose a wonderful Helmut image of five foot ten and a...

Pros: Beautiful images, great articles on photographers

Cons: Hard to find on the newsstands

Review: I am a subscriber to various magazines, and one day I got a copy of American Photo in my mailbox. I don't recall requesting a copy, but it was sent to me on a trial basis. The cover featured model Heidi Klum, and when I opened up the magazine, I...

Pros: Serious discussion of photography as art; Gorgeous photo layouts

Cons: Only published every other month

Review: I have two criticisms for American Photo. First, I wish it was a monthly. Six issues a year is too few. Second, I wish it had more pages in each issue. Fortunately, even though I wish it had more pages, the ad-line is relatively low. This is not a...

Pros: The best little self help guide I've found.

Cons: A little costly but worth it

Review: I first read American Photo about six months ago and believe me it's one of the most informative photography magazines on the market. I work for a photography studio and wanted to take up photography as a hobby. One of the photographers turned me on to...

Pros: Very little equipment reviews

If you pick up and issue of Popular Photography, Modern Photography or whatever is out there, it...

Pros: Beautiful Photos, Excellent Articles, The Staff Actually know what they are Talking About

Cons: The Magazine is a bit hard to find.

The Bottom Line: Overall AP offers the best photography magazine because of the informative articles and the wide range of topics!

Review: For a photography magazine I think that this has to be one of the best ones out there in all of them. I love the articles and the features. I think that the staff put a lot of time into the things that they put into the mag. Also AP is a mag that doesn't...

Pros: Great articles with lots of advice and tips

Cons: needs more beautiful pictures

Review: American Photo is one of the best magazines for photographers. If you are only interested in seeing beautiful pictures there are better choices; such as Aperture, but if you want technical articles, product reviews, profiles of photographers, and a few...

Pros: well printed, informative articles

Cons: articles in every issue are not appealing to everybody

Review: American Photo is a good magazine. The general layout is easy to follow, the photography news portions are always informative; the product reviews also. Technically, it's a nicely printed magazine that very accurately reproduces the photos...

Pros: Interesting articles, good photo-spreads, great special editions

Cons: Inconsistent design, cluttered, ugly ads, useless reviews

The Bottom Line: It's got some great articles, but as a whole it's inconsistent and uninspiring.

Review: I got American Photo from one of those survey websites that offer rewards instead of cash. Amongst the rewards, you can choose from a list of magazine subscriptions that changes every once in a while. I chose American Photo as ...
