At Icon Publications Ltd we have relaunched the Minolta Image magazine which we have produced (originally not under our company name) since 1981 – it is now KONICA MINOLTA PHOTOWORLD, reverting to its original 1970s name plus the new company. This was relaunched with a Spring/Summer edition in May.
In late June, we publish the first ‘f2’ magazine – the subhead for the title is ‘Freelance+Digital’ which replaces our magazine of the last five years, Freelance Photographer, bringing in the content of the recent ‘Master Digital Photographer’ magazine. The association we produced this for felt it had become too commercial, and was being aimed too much at non-member subscribers. ‘f2’ will manage something we first tried to do in 1996 – alienating far too many readers who were not ready – and cover the world of digital and conventional photography for print, exhibition, direct sale, stock agency, competitions and other typical solo, am/pro shared interests.
Both magazines are a market (not incredibly well-paid, but paid nevertheless) for technical articles; a possible showcase for portfolio work (generally not paid for f2, paid for Photoworld); and will have websites shortly with forum facilities.
We do have an interest in Photoshop related articles, but only those which are about camera-work – not pure graphics.
These are not available through newsagents, and we maintain the position we have since the mid-1990s of near zero print wastage (compared to 30 per cent of all UK printed magazine consigned to landfill currently, due to the sale or return news sale system). They remain subscription only and the circulations are relatively small. We are the only specialist photo magazine publisher in Scotland.
The website for them at the moment remains:
http://www.freelancephotographer.co.uk/
This has brief details, a Paypal subscription system with UK, Europe and World options, and an archive of downloadable pdf files of articles from the predecessor titles.
