Purpose is a unique and thought-provoking online photography webzine, founded in January 2006 by Paul Demare, Gilles Raynaldy, and Francesca Alberti. Known for its independent and free format, the magazine delves into a wide range of relevant and engaging topics, including social issues, memory, the environment, and the margins of society, all through the lens of contemporary photography.

Each issue of Purpose is a multimedia experience, combining photography with original soundtracks created by diverse composers, adding an extra layer of depth to the visual storytelling. The magazine is a platform for both established and emerging photographers, fostering a meeting place where their visions can converge and contrast.

Dedicated to exploring powerful and often underrepresented subjects, Purpose continues to provide a fresh perspective on the world, celebrating the art of photography in a dynamic and immersive format. The magazine is still being published, and its broad exploration of themes and engaging presentation make it a standout in the world of online photography publications.
