"American Photo" is a very well produced magazine that focuses (no pun intended) on fashion, professional, and high end photography. Mixed into the pages are a lot of truely good photos, book and product reviews, and interviews with artists and professionals. If you are serious about photography, the magazine is worth the subscription price.

That being said one note of caution needs to be made, there are a lot "artistic" images that can be disturbing and there is a lot nudity mixed in almost gratuitously. I have no real problem with either for adults, but do not leave this one where my kids might pick it up.

Overall, a high quality magazine! Recommended

This is a magazine for serious photographers and others interested in the art of photography. There is little in it for techno-geeks, gadget-hounds or the snap shooter who only takes his camera to the annual family reunion. But if you're serious about photography, this magazine contains is a lot of good photography and excellent profiles of professional phtographers and how they work.

A reasonably well balanced magazine. Better than Popular Photography in terms of content in that it showcases works of pros, talented amateurs and important historic photographic artists. Be reminded this magazine is published every ***other*** month (6 issues per year)

Quite often resorts to scantily clad women on the cover to get your attention.

American Photo showcases master photographers and their work. Yes, this sometimes means nudity, but in many place and for many thousands of years that has simply been a form of art. If you want to see great photos, on a beautiful glossy finish, pick up this magazine. If you want to know how the photographer snapped that shot this is not the magazine for you. Personally, I find this magazine as a source of inspiration. I page through, finding ideas along the way and the magazine is priced well for this purpose.

I'm a armature photographer who uses photography as my creative outlet. I have browsed through American Photo Magazine while at Borders or Barnes and Noble and found it to be a very well written Magazine. After subscribing and being able to really take the time to sit and read the articles thoroughly, I find the articles and tips very helpful. One of the articles was about pinhole photography. I was so pumped by the article and images that I ordered one and started shooting pinhole photography myself, with great results. I think if a magazine can motivate you to become a better photographer and try new things , that it has done what it has set out to do. Great magazine and well written articles made to instruct and inspire!

I can't think of too much to say about a magazine, but if you are a photographer (amateur or pro) or just interested in art, this is a good magazine with a good mixture of artistic insight, techniques, gear review, and artist interviews. Not cluttered with ads like some other photography magazines.

If you are into landscape photography, I would suggest another magazine like Outdoor Photographer.

i got this subscription for my husband, since he's starting to take photography classes and has been working with our new camera for a bit. he's read through every issue so far and has found inspiration in the photos.

This magazine didn't end up being what I wanted or needed at this stage of my career. I was more pleased with Professional Photographer, a magazine you have to order specifically from them. This magazine just didn't focus on the things I was hoping it would, they have touched on portraiture to a degree but seem to air more to the landscape side of the spectrum. If you are interested in reading more about landscape and documentary photography, this should suit your needs.

I love this magazine because it is about photographs and the people who take them. You won't find yet another "Print Film Shootout!" article here. There are reviews, but not the kind or quantity you would find in the sister publication, Pop Photo. This magazine is geared towards the artistic side of photography so it may not be of interest to the average shooter.

American Photo is a great mag. But dont renew through Amazon..It' $12.95 a year through Amazon and only $5.00 a year from American Photo. Always less if you renew through any mag you have. Amazon wont give an inch.
