Magazine

Professional Photographer is the only magazine in the industry that delivers the LARGEST GROUP OF PAID SUBSCRIBERS. The difference is clear—those who invest hard-earned money in a magazine are more likely to read it. And they do.

In fact, 82.8 percent* of subscribers have read 4 out of the last 4 issues, and 70 percent spend at least an hour with our magazine every month. They keep issues for future reference, and over half share the magazine with one or more people, almost doubling your exposure!

But most important is our subscribers’ loyalty. They choose to read Professional Photographer first; they say Professional Photographer provides the most useful information and that we’re the magazine most in touch with their concerns. They admit that if they had to choose only one photography magazine to read, it would be Professional Photographer. Ready to join us at the top of the stack? Follow the specifications and instructions below to become part of Professional Photographer’s platform networks. As always, if you have questions, simply contact your account executive.

Focused on Who You Most Want to Reach

More full-time photographers focus on weddings and portraits than any other specialty. (In fact, Professional Photographer REACHES MORE PORTRAIT AND WEDDING photographers than any other magazine in the industry.) Photography isn’t a hobby for them—it’s their life. And they’re finding that their clients don’t let the economy get in the way of investments in professional photography. Indeed, the majority of our readers say their budgets for new products and services are staying the same or even increasing in 2010. Their purchase plans include cameras, other photo and computer equipment, software, printers and all kinds of accessories.

Targeting your most highly qualified prospects has never been more important. Fortunately, it’s never been easier once you partner with Professional Photographer.
