Printed Photography Magazines

212 is a biannual magazine based out of Istanbul, published and distributed internationally. It contains short fiction and long-form reportage; distinctive photo essays and revealing interviews.

Our Magazine showcases the winners of AAP Magazine's call of entries organized by All About Photo every 2 months. With an eye towards beauty, quality and novelty, we try to discover amazing works and help photographers get the exposure we think they deserve.
