Founded in 2010 and published by Victor Balko, Oliver Dignal, Stefan Stark and the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach, ALBUM – Magazin für Fotografie is described by its makers as “a mirror”, a springboard, a space to explore: a magazine for photography. One that is entirely and fundamentally dedicated to photography in all its diverse aspects: photography in the form of images as well as in texts, in the sense of a verbal interpretation. Or, generally speaking, photography as it is perceived and how we take it seriously.” Published works include those from Julius von Bismarck, Lucas Foglia, Nacho Iasparra, Sanna Kannisto, Tim Knowles, Laura Plageman, Diana Scherer, Amy Stein and Erik van der Weijde. Texts have been written by Steve Baker, Oliver Dignal, Jule Hillgärtner, Sabine Weier and others. Every issue comes with an art
edition from the magazine contributors.
