  Something Truly Special

  This magazine is truly on another level! From the insightful interviews and stunning photography to the endless inspiration it provides, every issue is like enjoying a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven. I’ve also become a Patreon member, and being able to participate in the monthly challenges has been a great source of motivation for me, while also giving me the opportunity to get my work out into the world beyond IG. It’s brilliant to be able to connect, create, and share with such an amazing and talented group of photographers!

  A learning experience

  Becoming a skilled photographer requires more than just taking lots and lots of pictures; studying the lives and work of notable photographers, both historic and contemporary, is also an important part of the process. Framelines Magazine offers readers valuable insights into street photography, covering both personal approaches and technical skills, often through interviews with notable, experienced, and talented photographers. Its attractive layout and high-quality reproductions make Framelines a highly recommended resource for beginners and seasoned photographers alike. Kudos to Shane and Josh for the great job they do producing Framelines — the magazine and the website.

  Framelines is a Community

  Framelines is an exceptional magazine but is so much more; it's a real community with photographers who have a range of tastes and views on street photography. For someone like me, who likes a wide variety of street images, it's the perfect magazine. The interviews and articles are educational, intriguing and inspirational. The design of the magazine is spot on for me. The community brings something else altogether. I consider myself very much a novice and I'm never sure if the work I'm producing is any good, or needs improving or if there are ways of going about things differently. Sure I can post on a well known social media platform and have friends and family tell me I'm making great images, but I don't know if it's just kind words. When submitting work to Framelines, I know the feedback will be honest, subjective and will go towards improving my work. I do have a bit of imposter syndrome when I look at my work compared to others as far as street photography is concerned; so to get positive feedback is a real boost for me because I know the feedback is genuine. Likewise, I know that feedback suggesting ways to improve will be done respectfully and will go towards bettering my work. If you embrace the assignments, it won't just improve you as a photographer, it will bring genuine pleasure; at least that's what it has done for me.

  Not Just a Magazine or Website - But a Community

  Gone are the days of the 90's and before, where I'd need a magazine to learn about the world of a particular subject (thanks to the internet...) - skateboarding, snowboarding, or some subculture offshoot. Laying on your bed, crinkling the paper as you flip through, trying to find your new favorite athlete or artist, a new trick or tip, or an account of an interesting conversation. But, that's not to say we stopped yearning for this tactile and compiled issue of ideas. There is something about a carefully curated amalgamation of subculture; a outlet for new (and old) artists to be on display; and hunting for some tidbit of experience or idea or thought that has been immortalized on a page. All mushed together into a serialized piece of paper or digital content. Framelines seems to have brought back this nostalgia to me (even if I have read some issues on my iPad). And even more: it's broken the 2D renderings of its pages. It's created a community and a real life outlet for creativity through its assignments. Shane and Josh have created something great between their YouTube channel, Framelines, and the community they generated. Framelines feels like a top notch creation by people that are involved in the craft. Not just some magazine made to garner our attention - but one that follows a leading path of a collective, and often niche, interest. Regardless of where I may read a new issue, nostalgia does kick in, and I'm taken back to my bedroom as a kid, with my kid brain taking in overloads of info of a subject I'm totally engrossed in. If the nostalgia is intentional or not, or the magazine was just an approach due to street culture of zines and photo books, the driving force however is still the subject matter the creators have curated for us. They keep their eye trained through the viewfinder, and give us that snapshot of what exactly we want - content made by those that do, and doors that open to new ideas and discoveries within our craft.
