Our take
In 2025, we embarked on a bold journey to redefine the publishing landscape for niche photography. The Phoblographer is exploring the possibility of returning to print while consciously stepping away from traditional advertising partnerships with major camera manufacturers. This shift highlights a vision: if each reader contributed just $1 annually, we could secure the resources needed to grow and sustain our platform.
In 2025, I started to do things that otherwise would seem crazy for a publisher of a niche photography online magazine to do. For starters, this year, the Phoblographer may actually make a printed magazine again. But in addition to that, we didn't sell any ads to the big camera manufacturers. It really showed me that if everyone even gave $1 to read FOR THE YEAR, we'd make enough money to be able to grow and sustain the site for a very, very long time. But that's really tough to ask. Eventually, I'd like to site to move away from needing and relying on banner-ads. Instead, I want the site to go fully super-affordable subscription eventually.
