“There are plenty of photography magazines out there, but The Raw Society Magazine is something different. It’s not just about showcasing beautiful images—it’s about telling stories that matter. As a non-profit project, it gives space to photographers who dig deeper, who capture more than just a moment. It’s about social issues, politics, culture, travel, and history, but most of all, it’s about the personal narratives that bring those themes to life.

I recently received Issue Three, and right away, I could tell this was something special. There’s an interview with Sarah Leen, the former Director of Photography at National Geographic, alongside work from photographers like Ed Kashi, Jorge Delgado-Ureña, and Micah Green. The stories inside aren’t just visually striking—they have weight. They invite you to slow down, to engage, to feel.

Beyond its printed pages, The Raw Society Magazine also offers a unique way to support visual storytelling through its Adopt a Story initiative. Each year, selected story proposals are posted on the magazine’s website, outlining the photographer’s vision, motivation, and production costs. Supporters can contribute to these projects—partially or fully—helping them come to life. Stories that reach their funding goals are then published in the following issue, making readers an active part of the editorial process.

Holding the magazine in my hands, I had a moment of reflection: this is what photography can be. We are constantly surrounded by images, scrolling through them without much thought. But here, in print, each story demands attention. It’s a reminder that photography is more than just aesthetics—it’s a way of interpreting the world.

For me, success isn’t measured by numbers or sales. It’s about impact. Flipping through the pages of Issue Three, I could sense that impact. The fresh ink, the weight of the paper, the care behind each project—it all pointed to something that has meaning. It serves as a reminder that visual storytelling still holds value, and that there’s space for photography with depth.

In a digital age, The Raw Society Magazine invites us to pause. To reflect on stories. To appreciate the craft of seeing. And for that, it deserves a spot on my shelf.”

All About Photo was born from the realization that no site on the web regroups portfolios, photo labs, framing stores, equipment and studio rentals, camera repair shops, schools, agencies, museums, galleries, institutes and centers, photo contests, portfolio reviews, exhibitions, fairs and festivals, books, online and paper magazines, in-depth interviews and articles as well as news of the photography world, all in one place. Our goal is to inform, educate, and inspire in all things photography-related.

The result is one of the most far-reaching online magazine where you can find everything related to photography. We seek to present exceptional work from around the world as well as meaningful resources.

Since its creation in 2013, All About Photo also presents an international perspective on contemporary photography, with an eye toward beauty, artistic significance and timeless quality.
