Foam is the magazine of Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam, one of the world's leading institutions for photography. Published three times a year, the magazine extends the museum's mission into print — presenting portfolios, critical essays, and interviews that together form a vital record of contemporary photographic practice from around the globe.
Each issue typically focuses on a theme or showcases the work of a select group of photographers, mixing established names with the emerging talents that Foam has become renowned for discovering through its Foam Talent programme. The editorial approach balances visual generosity — large-format reproductions on high-quality paper — with serious critical engagement, creating a publication that functions simultaneously as a beautiful object and as a contribution to photographic discourse.
For photographers, curators, collectors, and anyone who takes the medium seriously, Foam is one of the essential photography magazines in the world — a publication that consistently identifies and presents the work that matters before the rest of the world catches on.
