 Good creative photography magazine aimed towards glamour December 18, 2004

American Photo is a much better magazine than its sibling Popular Photography, but frankly, that is not saying much. It seems as though its primary market is fashion/glamour photographers since most of its issues are devoted to these aspects of professional photography. There are other magazines which excel at nature photography, so I am not disappointed by its absence here, but not noting more fine art documentary photograhy is a major omission which I hope this magazine does address eventually. There are also excellent photo equipment reviews frequently written by working professionals, as opposed solely to in-house technical equipment overviews. American Photo is without question among the better photo magazines currently available, but unless you are interested mainly in fashion and glamour photography, you might wish to look more closely at Shutterbug or other magazines devote to nature and fine art photography.
 Full of helpful hints and useful tips April 16, 2002

This magazine has been my bible for the past few years. Reviews of all the cameras have helped me purchase most of my photography equipment. There are many adds which show you a variety of different equiptment of which is on the market.
I tell my student's and peers many of the tips and hints found in American Photo. Thank you for such a great magazine!
 ... photography is more than naked woman... August 15, 2006

I cancelled my subscription to this magazine 6 months ago with a letter to the editor stating that I loved to see nude woman, but subscribed to learn from the masters about photography. I cannot tell you how disappointed I was when I resubscribed after not taking the magazine for years... it used to be a wonderful magazine chock full of insightful articles, lighting techniques, studio setup diagrams, lots of great stuff... I subscribed to a 2 year deal through an online subscriber and asked them to quit sending it after only 6 months and to keep the money.
Not worth the paper it is printed on- period. Apeture I hear is pretty good, and I also hear Popular Photography has gotten much better and now only 95% about advertising and product reviews and at least 5% helpful tips and tricks...
 It's all about fashion. August 4, 2004

I really have to wonder why they don't change the name of this magazine to be something about fashion and pop culture photography, because that's really what this is about.
If you LIKE fashion and pop culture photography (or you like pictures of nekkid ladies and are too shy to buy real porn but not shy enough to have to resort to National Geographic), then it's probably a pretty decent magazine, although even then they tend to concentrate pretty heavily on people and not very much on photography issues (technique, gear, or what have you). In a lot of ways you might as well just buy Rolling Stone and look at the pictures, or something.
If you don't much care for fashion photography, buy something else.
THE PERFECT PHOTOGRAPHY MAGAZINE ALMOST March 9, 2004

I say almost due to the fact that Aperture gives them a good run for the money. You know those photography magazines with about 10 pages of pictures and articles and the rest is advertising? This is not it! If you enjoy a magazine that delivers informative photographing techniques, get this one! If you are interested in seeing the work of other photographer's, get this magazine! If you want a hot collectible, GET THIS MAGAZINE!!! Yes there are ads in here, but not a ton of them. For you guys (and girls) out there who love to see the occasional beautiful star photographed, get this magazine. One of the aspects of this magazine that I like, is the fact that the photo layouts are sometimes full page, unlike some magazines where you have to get out a magnifying glass to view the photos. And this one IS a hot collectible, though the French version of it is an even hotter collectible. Whether it's nature, special effects, or provocative photography, this one is a superb magazine. In short, this one is a must get for the photography fan.
