Photographic Magazines and Markets

for Photographs

While the information herein brought together regarding markets for photographs has with few exceptions been supplied by the editors of the various periodicals and others within a short time of going to press, the intending photographer-writer may wisely study the field before submitting prints-or indeed before making his pictures-because it is often easier to select subjects known to be preferred in certain quarters than to find markets for pictures already made, and that, while good of their kind, do not seem to fit in anywhere exactly. The list here is more suggestive than complete. Many magazines listed under other headings, such as farm papers, for example, are glad to see photographs that really illustrate. A glance through the list of trade papers and house organs will show perhaps unrealized opportunities for selling photographs. In newspaperdom, or with the weeklies, timeliness has much to do with acceptances. Kodaking has rendered picture-making easy, and, excluding articles intended for the camera magazines, no wider or more technical knowledge of photography is necessary than the ability to make a firm negative and a good, clear print.*
