Meet BLUR magazine
BLUR magazine is an international e-magazine founded in 2007 with the mission to promote creative photography worldwide. It represents a meeting place for photographers, both prominent professionals and talented amateurs yet to be discovered, and photography lovers from around 190 counties.
In these times of photographic hyper production, BLUR magazine aims to slow the pace and encourage its readers to reflect more on the images and to experience photography more profoundly. This is why BLUR omits technical specifics of photographs and focuses instead on creative, impactful photography and its creators.
BLUR magazine is published quarterly in an interactive PDF format, free of charge.
BLUR magazine is a completely voluntary project run by photography enthusiasts from Croatia, USA, Canada, and Germany.
CLEAR FOCUS ON ART
BLUR magazine focuses on artistic and creative photography with strong impact, but also on the authors themselves, regardless of whether they are professional or still relatively unknown but very promising and talented photographers. In these times of photographic hyper-production, BLUR magazine tends to slow down the pace and influence the readers to reflect more about the images and experience photography more profoundly. Therefore, BLUR magazine omits the facts that, in our subjective opinion, should be in the background, completely vague and blurred when it comes to art of photography, such as information about brand of cameras, lenses and other technical specifications.
FOR MANY PHOTOGRAPHIC TASTES
Because it covers various photographic techniques BLUR magazine meets diverse tastes. In the magazine, digital photography is highly represented, but also different forms and genres of analog images, such as Polaroid, Lomography, Wet plate photography, Stereo photography, Wabi-sabi photography etc. In addition, BLUR magazine presents photographers in different ways; through interviews, projects, portfolios, columns, articles and galleries. It is exactly this approach that makes
BLUR magazine interesting and appealing to photographers specialized in one field, while other readers have recognized the successful combination of art and information.
