 Rating:  - Not so artistic imoI went to local book store to see few photography magazines, including "Aperture", to see what makes this magazine so famous and all. I just quickly flipped through pages then there were those BnW pictures... men and women having sex in bushes...like...2 couples or so... Wow....it made me sick...although those pics didn't show such nudity it was the idea. What's so artistic about BnW pics of a guy reaching inside a woman's underwear? or Is it that something 'amateurs' like ...

Feedback from other members is always anticipated and welcomed. Rating:  - Worth the subscriptionAperture is indeed the preeminent art photography magazine, and consistently has enough good material to warrant a subscription independent of its clout. Although ostensively devoted to art photography, many of the spreads are essentially photojournalism.

Rating: - Pretentious and PloddingAperture is THE premier photographic magazine today... which is to say it embodies all the fashionable cliches and pretentions of the contemprary post-modern scene. Out of focus shots? Ragged borders? All here. Family snapshots reinterpreted as high art? We got 'em. Egocentric self-portraits by the dozen? Step right up. The "art" in Aperture is uniformly artless, deadly dull, and devoid of any human feeling. But that's what the critics are selling these days. Rating:  - Joyless ArtThis magazine is full of ART (sound of trumpets here). The photographs are unfailingly serious, moody, joyless affairs. There is no room in its pages for smiles, love, or happiness. As an example, the 50 year retrospective in 2002 had at least three photographs (all technically excellent) of bodies and one of an amputated foot (also technically excellent). Tucked in one corner of one montage was the only smiling face in the entire two issues of the retrospective. So, if you ... Read More |
