The first thing we knew we had to do, was talking to photographers from different backgrounds and age group. We spent time going through 100+ responses from our survey. We could see some similarity in the opinions and some good insights coming together. Apart from this we also had a one-to-one conversation with Artists and Photographers who were very interested in our approach to making this magazine possible.
Conversation
Give them more visuals to look at and less texts to read. As photographers they just need images which is more than enough to satify their hunger for content.
Social Media are great platforms and is free. It’s hard to make someone buy a magazine when they have a smartphone with internet.
People who aren’t that serious about photography would still go through it if they find it in a place like a Library, Book Store, Coffee Houses.
Reduce Ads.
There is a Tangeble aspect to printed photograph and magazine, which still makes it unique when compared to digital media.
Only people who are serious about photography might want to purcase a magazine.
Don’t make it look like a commercial piece of work.
Try having a community around the magazine.
Magazines are also import- ant from a collectors point of view.
