European Photography is a Berlin-based journal that has been documenting and critically examining photography and new media art since the early 1980s. Published biannually in English, the magazine provides an international platform for photographic discourse, featuring portfolios, critical essays, exhibition reviews, and theoretical texts that place contemporary photographic practice within broader cultural and technological contexts.
The editorial approach is deliberately pan-European in scope but global in ambition, covering work from established and emerging photographers alongside contributions from curators, historians, and theorists. Each issue balances the visual pleasure of strong photographic portfolios with the intellectual rigour of serious arts criticism — a combination that has made the journal a reference point for anyone engaged with photography as a fine art medium and a tool of cultural investigation.
The journal’s longevity is itself a distinction. For more than four decades, European Photography has maintained its editorial standards through every upheaval in the medium — from the analogue-to-digital transition to the rise of smartphone photography to the current questions about AI-generated images. Through each transformation, the fundamental questions remain: what does it mean to make a photograph, and what do photographs do in the world?
In an era when photographic images are produced and consumed in unprecedented volume, European Photography performs the increasingly vital function of slowing down, looking carefully, and asking what it means to make and interpret photographs in a world saturated with them.
