French Photography Journals Under Review

publication · 2026-04-24

A review in artpress (November 2016, issue 438, p. 85) examines three French photography journals: Études photographiques (no. 34, published by Société française de photographie), Infra-mince (no. 9, themed 'L'exploration photographique', published by ENSP/Actes Sud), and Un laboratoire. La revue de photographie. The article notes that among the rare French journals currently dedicated to photography, only these few remain active. The review highlights the thematic focus of Infra-mince on photographic exploration, while Études photographiques continues its scholarly approach. The piece underscores the precarious state of photography publishing in France.
